That decision seems like it is going to be made for me I am afraid. If one did not choose to upgrade at $2995, why does it become more attractive to upgrade as the price pushes ever higher over time ($3495, $4000, etc). I don't need the CPU core stuff, or the Tasking stuff. I do want the VHDL, FPGA, and FPGA pin swap capabilities that I previously had in AD & SP4. These do not seem to be available in AD 6 without upgrading to Nexar. They seem to have "rewritten the deal" here, and pulled the rug out from under their customers feet. That's just not right.
And it's not just the current upgrade costs, it is the additional future upgrade costs at the higher product level if one does upgrade to Nexar. For me it is mostly the lack of attention to Situs development, and the removal of the previous VHDL capabilities. (unless one upgrades to Nexar). I also swore to myself at the time, that if I did not get that world class autorouter that I thought I was buying into when I bought into DXP, that I was "done". And so, here we are. Doing a presto-chango-version-number, and asking for more $$$ has not fixed the autorouter issues that I have. ---Phil rbn> For those out there that do not need the Nexar like functionality... are you rbn> continuing with Protel? ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
