But, isn't is ironic that the members who who seem to be the most interested in shaping Amazing Charts and steering its direction such as Paul, Wayne, Roy, Brian, joseph, Barbara, Leslie, and apricot, are the most at risk at violating the EULA and losing their license?[/qote]
Whoa! Did I stir up some things. And, did I EVER get misinterpreted and misunderstood. The black and white of posting and email. Let me enlighten everyone as to my thoughts and meaning here. First! I have NO issues with the EULA. I am not frightened by the EULA. I am way more conncerned with running out of Hepatitis A vaccine (which we don't push) than I am the EULA. Yes, I have read it. And, yes, it is a poorly written and unenforceable document that a first year lawyer could defeat. Anyone using AC at all within the boundaries of its intent, i.e. not giving away your license, etc or seling it for tha matter, will have it forever.
My post was also not to stir up those who don't post, although I must have seen that coming or I wouldn't have started out with the caveats. Obviously, there are many who do not choose to post, which is their right. My guess is users are automatically joined to the board (I have no idea) since I would find it a little more strange if people were required to joint and then simply read. I do have somewhat of a problem from those who read and get tips and download templates and then do not even mention it on the board. But, I digress.
I have heard a good many people worry about the EULA. Again, I am not. But based on that perception and based on the fact that very few people post, I thought it was ironic that the ones who WOULD be likely to be in trouble IF there was even that chance would be the ones writing the posts to make AC better.
I think that is rather straightforward. I hope people understand. If not PM me. I certainly don't mind other points of view, but at least try to understand what I said first.
[quote=Wayne]As long as your customer is complaining, either quietly or loudly, you actually have a customer who wants to use your product and will buy from you again if you just fix the problem. You don't start to worry about having lost that customer until the STOP complaining and the problem is still there. 'cause then the have given up on you and won't buy from you again.
Wayne that is brilliant. I like it. I do think that same company should then try to fix that problem. On a related note, when I have an issue with a company, and they quickly rectify the situation, it makes me a customer for life. So, one can take a bad thing and turn it around.
Because basically the way you call attention to problems is to "criticize" in one way or another. You can call it "suggesting an improvement.
I understand your comment. I do disagree a bit though. I think saying, "It would be nice if one could put in fake patients in a separate database is a little different than saying, "Not being able to use a separate database sucks." But, itis all semantics. And, I see your point completely.
