Once upon a time there was this guy who came up with this bright idea of a Lil' Blue Wagon. He sold 100 wagons. Kids loved the wagon and sales steadily climbed. Along came this woman who wanted to build a wagon and she did, but in order to avoid copyright laws, she made hers green. She sold 100 green wagons in her first year and soon her company was doing as well as the blue wagon company.
Now shortly thereafter quite a few customers from each company went to the makers of both wagons and said we think we would like your wagons better if they were red. Nonsense said Blue Wagon CEO, it's just how I like it, and besides it may break the wheels. But, the CEO of the green wagons thought well if 75% of my customers like red, then I will paint them red. Well, the Radio Flyer Red Wagon was born and the rest is history.
The moral is while you may be making impressive and significant changes, if none of these changes are what your customer base asked for you'll end up being a blue wagon.
We aren't talking big sweeping changes here. Allowing one to name the own folders in II likely won't crash the program. AC adds the time of birth in the demographics, yet still won't allow one to save two pharmacies. Granted, this is a bad time to make updates to the program given all the Unmeaningful Use stuff. But, I still as yet have not seen a single suggestion by a user make it into AC. If we are a subset of all the potential buyers out there, it only makes sense to incorporate some of our ideas.
