AW: [Dx4win] Why upgrade to ver 7

[Sauvageot Christoph]

Hi Chuck,

But they don't remove all bucks from version 6 till today! 

I spent no money for bug fixing ! ( Do you spent money for Windows service packs ? )
For a real major release I will spent money but not for a Dayton joke.

Yep! In the current declining market for ham products (you might argue this 
assumption if you wish) the probability that a small (1 or 2 people) 
software company will fold is high.

Independent of any substantive value-added functionality, I find it in MY 
best interest to throw $25 their way from time-to-time just to help ensure 
they'll be there five years from now to answer my questions and clean up 
bugs. Think of guaranteed bug removal downstream as "value added" now. This 
might be pressing a couple of philosophical hot buttons, but real-world 
scenarios often require pragmatic responses.

How much are you willing to spend on preventive maintenance of your 
hardware? Don't you think your software deserves a little too?

73,
Chuck, N4NM
