News :-S

Well, you already lost your tongue anyway. And since - up 'til now - non-paying customers basically don't get ANYTHING LESS than the ones who do, and since the price - up 'til now - correspends to 1xexecute saturdaynightboozeup(standard,0) OR LESS - pal, you're complaining about NOTHING. period.

(Sorry. edit timeout again) Or is it that difficult to just check out a news page which will be standard opener whenever you hit the site??? :?:

There is a neat RSS feed.

yes, it is

D-mon:
Well, on the other side of the table things look different. I won't explain
here WHY we do it this way, but maybe you should think about this:

There are many customers that ask us, why we even support such a
community for free - our customers pay also for our non-paying users.

If you can't afford the time for a short visit on our portal, then you maybe
even have no time in case of trouble to wait for help from community and
the 16$ are well invested for special support
we take your attention as a currency we want from YOU - what else
did you to support us?
if that's too much for you, I really apologize for any inconvenience at your side of the table.

LocutusofBorg I agree 100% with YOU... :!:

OMG d-mon I can't even beleive that you have the nerve to say things like that. I mean you get a peice of software which is the best of it's kind for absolutly free and then you have the nerve to come in here and complain about not getting emails about the progress of the next version. And complaining about paying $16 for email notifications is the only obsurd thing here by the way. Come to think of it I've given more in donations for programs of this standard in the past so quit whining.

Some people think that the world owes them something. It's sad really :x .

[D-mon]

With a guess I'd say the reason why you don't offer the free email notifications is because your free product is on par with the one some pay for (which is generous but causes problems), so you have to throw something else in to make it worthwhile, a service, since noone will pay for a service/product when there's a free equivalent. Perhaps that's part of the inspiration for Daemon-Tools Pro, so you can actually offer more features to paying customers so that purchasing it is more justifiable, I and many other will probably be more interested in paying for something like a feature richer "pro" version.

The RSS feed does help though and it's appreciated. Thanks.

Work wouldn't be very happy if I browsed every website of every program I used just to see if there's an update or patch compared to taking 10 seconds to know is there are any for any of the sofware I used just by checking my email, so it might not be difficult but yes it IS a problem. Also you say I lost my tongue, would you please point out where? After reading your posts I suggest you use a dictionary to back up your claim (ps: the word "bloody" is an intensifier and not profanity)

kel,
Where did I complain about the progress of the next version, please show me because I can't seem to find it. Personally it's only the best of it's kind in the free software category out of all the software I'm aware of, but once money comes into the picture there is other software which is currently better. "And complaining about paying $16 for email notifications is the only obsurd thing" if you're happy paying $16 for mere email notifications without complaining, unlike me, then I guess I do have more nerve than you, but in this case the word balls seems more appropriate. Also you're whining about whiners which makes you no better but does mean your're a hypocrite.

Well, beside the fact that you MUST register it for commercial use (I suggest to read the EULA) and this was and is still our target-market,
many people (who don't have to pay for because they use it for their
private purposes) have the BALLS to support, especially ,jackda\w is one
of them who not only paid for it, but also provided many help in the
past to everyone. One of our most respected users here! Take this
as my personal opinion about people who have the "customers" under
the name, but personally I think that THIS are the people who make this
world run.

Kel, btw, didn't wrote that you're complaining about the progress of PRO
version, he wrote this:

what he meaned was that you complain about the emails, that YOU don't
receive. Well, it seems that he ~20000 users don't receive it, too - go figure

Some people think that the world owes them something. It's sad really

I wish I could say I disagree with you so much, unfortunately, you're right.
You can now maybe imagine what emails I receive every day, this thread
is kindergarden compared with it :mrgreen:

Well first of I'm not going to get into a childish argument as I have already said what I wanted to say and I also hate it when I see two people bickering with each other on forums just to get the last word in and I will not lower myself to that level.

I will say one thing though I only know of two programs that have virtual drives with copy protection emulation. One is Daemon Tools and the other is Alcohol120% / 52% which you have to pay for. I have both installed on my PC and I still use Daemon Tools for virtual drives and emulation as I think it is far better. And that decision has nothing to do with weither the program is free or not.

LocutusofBorg: I now I wouldn't like to have to read though all your emails. I can imagine most of them are complaints from ungratefull people that are never happy with what they already have. You must be a very patiant person.
