| Posted: | | | | Do you really lead that lame of a life that you have to rant about not being able to download an application before Christmas? I mean jees, you would have been suicidal twenty years ago, when there were no apps. What I'm trying to say is,calm down dip shiitake mushroom, it's only a recreational tool for your phone. So, put down your enrgy drink and your game remote and relax. there's more important things to be concerned about, like moving out of your parents basement! Get a LIFE!!! |

| Posted: | | | | I've been checking this part of the forums probably as much as you and I don't remember being told it was coming out at the end of every month. The problem was a total lack of commitment to ANY date, not that too many were mentioned and passed by.
When we were eventually told that it would be out by the end of October it was a welcome relief to have heard something, the fact that a technical problem cropped up, well s**t happens that you can't always account for and I applaud Ken for the speed at which he got v3.7 beta up and running so that the iPhone/iPad app can be released.
As to this being a program that's been around for years and so should be easy to get up and running, I'm not a computer programmer so stand to be corrected by those with more knowledge, but hasn't Ken had to learn a new programming language to be able to make the app? If so then he's effectively had to start from scratch and kudos to the man for that.
The final comment I have about Ken not being able to commit to a final date is probably because it's not up to him this time round. You have to submit the apps to APPLE for them to approve, all previous incarnations he's not been reliant on anyone else approving, it's just been released through the website. I can threfore understand why Ken won't commit to a date, seeing as he doesn't know what the APPLE folks are going to say, they may ask him to jump through some more hoops which will be out of his control. Grow up, stop chucking your toys out of the pram and go and play with the stupidly expensive car that you were bragging about. | | | Last edited: by KirkSi |

| Posted: | | | | And as I said before...if it isn't here in twenty years you will all still say how "Boring" I am, and that it was right to wait twenty years too...I even said I would be flamed, so Please...
Tell me what the date will be when everyone will say enough is enough. Please. I dare you.
Will it STILL be Ok to wait until New Years day? And don't say it will be before that since there is NO Announced date, right?
How about Summer? Next June, July, or August?
The Flamers will all say, "Hey - it takes a while...Be Patient"
And you KNOW IT.
I am not the only one, I used to flame people for being impatient too. And SYNNERMAN registered about a year and a half before me...OOOOH, an expert.
If it is forgotton about for ten years he will say it had to be.
And Ok, I will go play in my New Lexus LX570 - Jealous much?
I too, will applaud when it is finally released and I am sure after all these "Bug Fixes" it will be Perfect, right?
SYNNERMAN - "No it won't be perfect, I hope it isn't. After all of Ken's work I want to be able to have it crash..."

| Posted: | | | | And yes, since this isn't a Positive rant applauding how perfect everything is it likely will get blocked, closed, or moved to some hard to find place in the forums...the ones that said to remove it?
Censor much?
Everyone is so Positive here just like I was...being a Kiss up isn't getting it released any sooner either. |

| Posted: | | | | Here's a thought. First, I applaud you for having the money to do and buy whatever you want, that in and of itself has it's own problems. If you have enough, hire a programmer to write a piece of software that will do the job you want. I don't mean this in a bad way or as sarcasm. Nuff said. | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| Posted: | | | | Man, you sure waste a lot of enegy on this. This doesn't strike me as being healthy.
Life's not fair, you can't always get what you want.
For all the smack-talk, I still think you will be one of the first persons to buy it when it comes out. |

| Posted: | | | | I understand that frustration can occur in any customer related industry in which the customer feels dissatisfied.
But, how does berating the owner or employee of that business work to the customers advantage?
Anger, frustration and lashing out are not healthy nor do they positively affect the outcome of a situation.
I don't own an iPad and so don't know the answer but if the service is unacceptable, you might want to see if there is something else that will give you what you need temporarily. | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

| Posted: | | | | I did find a way to stay happy - I bookmarked my online collection and made an Icon for it on my iPad.
I stated that 1st thing in the thread...
But it has nothing to do with waiting ten times longer than expected.
Really - it was all of you berating Ken for giving the silent treatment, while some have left the forums forever - you all tell me to read the forums and I have - empty promises...
If we all told Ken we will pay for it when it comes out, then waited for months - he would be upset too.
And still nobody has answered my question...
When will you all think it has taken too long...
When will this blind faith change as mine has?
I grant you I have a lot on my plate raising two severely handicapped kids so waiting for anything stinks but we have been waiting a long time...if you all hear NOTHING after Christmas, or Bug Fixes until next Summer? When will you all think the wait will go from Long - to too Long?
Fair Question. An instead of telling me to hire someone to program a software for myself? How about mentioning to Ken to MAYBE hire some assistants? How about 1 or 2? |
