[Dxbase] Farewell

Fri Jul 31 12:21:01 EDT 2009

I have assumed that this was coming for some time. Fortunately or not, I
still really like DXBase. Like several that have commented on this product,
I have used it since it was a DOS based product. I guess, even though I
intend to continue to use DXBase, I should begin to look around to find some
other logging program that has equivalence. I don't want to be caught sort
when the inevitable comes and DXBase won't work on some new machine I buy. 
I wonder if anyone has done any research into other logging programs that
offer similar things to DXBase. (Frankly I hope that someone decides to use
this program as a base and expand on it...I don't mind the price.) I am
expecting a switch to be an unpleasant task since I have contacts stretching
over 5 decades and many thousands of contacts. :-(

Effective today, we have discontinued the sale of DXbase and we have taken 
steps to close Scientific Solutions, Inc. For many months, we have studied 
the prospects of further development work on DXbase. We have studied your 
answers to surveys, private emails, reflector posts, and telephone calls. 
It became clear to us that DXbase 2007 already provides nearly all of the 
capabilities that the vast majority of our customers want. Therefore it 
would be unlikely that we could improve enough on DXbase to warrant upgrades
in the near future.
So after many many years, we have come to the end. We appreciate the 
loyalty that we have been given by so many of you and we wish you success in
your ham activities. We've made a ton of friendships over the years and we 
are grateful to have been given that opportunity. We will of course remain 
active in ham radio and will no doubt see many of you again.
We have been accepting offers for the purchase of all rights associated with
DXbase source code and will continue to accept offers for another ten days 
or so. If a deal is reached with anyone, you'll hear about it from them. 
Since our DXbase email address will be shut down shortly, we will be 
accepting offers at a temporary email address aa4lu123 at yahoo.com.
Best wishes and thanks for your support,
Jack
