Well said Jerry. And I will add that Tech-Tools has a great setup and is very good to their customers. Apologies to all who were bored by the topic. For off topic, do we just put [OT]: in the subject? -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Jerry Merrill Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 6:15 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [PIC]: KNOWN BUGS WITH TDE v4.2 BETA 2 !!! Read this if you use that tool! Bob: I had not considered the impression left on people reading the HEADLINES but not the STORY; you are right, that could definitely present a bad impression. I, in fact was reading the STORY without reading the HEADLINE...it is pretty alarmist! I guess I should have taken the initiative to move the subject off-list earlier. I would hope everyone at least comes away from this with an impression that: 1. TechTools _DOES_ BETA testing rather than 'bug swaps called upgrades' 2. TechTools is responsive to BETA BUG REPORTS. 3. TechTools does not consider BETA BUGs as dirty laundry to be hidden/denied or ignored.
