[Logic] Not ready for prime time?

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 16:26:03 -0400

I agree completely with Tony's comments below and I am disappointed to see
my initial e-mail on problems encountered after my LOGic 6 installation, as
listed below, being used as an example of criticism.
I have been using LOGic pretty well since day-one, the old DOS days, and
have loved the program from the beginning. Having been a Ham for almost 50
years, I know a good program when I see one and Dennis and Fe know that I am
here for the long haul.
Comments and questions regarding problems encountered with updates and new
program versions on this reflector are for the information of the
subscribers and, if written in a positive manner, without personal 'digs'
and negative criticism, help us all. Considering the many extremely
knowledgeable and well versed, on LOGic, subscribers to be found here, most
problems are quickly resolved and, if not, can then be sent on to Dennis for
action.
As has been stated many times in the past, LOGic is the best and most
sophisticated logging and control program available anywhere and I trust
that problems encountered, and areas not understood, will continue to be
brought forth on this reflector for the information of us all and for the
resolution of the initiators problems.
