RE: [oopic] Re: Savage Innovations / Compiler / ooBug and etc.. UPDATE

I hate to see Dennis go.He was the most helpful person here, and this group
wouldn't be any help to new people if he had gone. And why pull the OOPic
line off the shelf? The R & S are my favorite, and I will keep using them
and keep buying them when ever I needed, but I can't if it's going "bye
bye". I also like the compiler V6. I have a saying of "Never move on until
something is perfect.", and which in this case it is not. And I see no
reason why the OOPic line is going t be pulled off while many people still
like it.

So you fired him.

Products that you sold only how long ago? Products you're still unloading?

Newsflash bucko: The compilers have been there for a long time
already. You guys are a joke.

So much for "compile a list of compiler complaints and post it here",
eh? Must be nice to be able to do 180's like that without any
concern for your paying customers. And I like your characterization
of REAL BUG reports as user complaints.

No thanks. It will end up buggy and unsupported like all the
rest. Savage Innovations has a long history of doing this.

>Probably the coolest thing about the new compiler is

Just STFU already. Were the profits on the old products so bad that
they couldn't be supported? If so, the new ones won't do any better.

I'm not buying your bullshit. Who knows what lines you'll be feeding
us tomorrow, next week, next month. "Events bug? We have a compiler
fix scheduled for <random date>". That date has long come and gone
and no fix. I can see why Dennis is no longer with you; I'm sure he
had plenty of things to say about your "fuck the customer" attitude.
