@Roy,
Roy, it is good to see you back on the boards. I want you to know that I have read all of your posts, and I see where you are coming from. It sounds like Adam and Alborg have as well. I can assure you that I find your input anything but trivial. And, not everyone has the technical savvy as Adam when he comes to firewall and backups and the like. God knows if I tried to set up SBS with two network cards, and yet he wouldn't sleep until he did.
I think it is important for you and Paul to point out the inaccuracies of the EULA and the wording contained therein. As Adam says, most of us just press yes or we wouldn't be able to use PDF, Microsoft, Symantec, etc. Even the free stuff is the same way. I think the difference here is we read it. A good analogy, I think, is I just a baby with RSV bronchiolitis in the hospital. He is doing much better. In fact, had I seen him in my office today, I would have never admitted him. But, he is staying until tomorrow. Why, because his sats were 85 on RA. Would he do find at home like that? Probably, but the difference is we know what the sats are.
Here in Maine, we have two lawyers who are president and vice-president of the MMA. It is the only reason I pay my dues. They give me free advice on everything. I think you should be proactice and send your associations attorney to the site which contains both the EULA and the other document which I don't know what it is. Let them give some advice. I once offered to pitch in $50.00 to let a good contact attorney look at the EULA for all of us. You know, six people -- $300, that should give us at least an hour. Maybe solve this once and for all.
Roy, Paul mentions that it seems I am flip flopping on this issue. I don't think I am. I just think I have continued to evolve with it, and I am trying to see everything clearly enough to make a good decision.
Roy, you and Leslie, Barbara, Donna, Brian, Vinny, Wayne and a few others make up what I call the "Big 10." Maybe there are a few more. We have spent many hours on the boards helping each other out, and all of us have made valuable contributions from the small suggestions on features to politics. I have alway valued your opinion and, in talking with Brian and the others, I know that many, if not all, have.
I know it sounds crazy for me as a doctor who, as you know, has a ridiculous amount of things to get done in a day to worry about your wanting to stay with AC, but I do. And, I don't want AC to become EMRUpdate. So, if there is anything I can do to help you with your decision or anything else as it pertains to AC, please let me know. I don't think there is anyone on here who wouldn't.
One last thought: Medicine is a very stressful business. I am forced to think about it at least 16 hours a day. So, when there is a thread that is 100% about silly stuff, it brightens my day. But, like a TV, I can surf channels and go back and forth between serious threads and silly ones.
