Yes, I dont quite understand that if you already own a legal copy of
Perfection why
cannot be allowed to get hold of the upgrade. Happy to provide proof of
purchase.
DP are not trading so loss of profit should not be an issue, loss of support
for
previous commercial programmes is an issue to me for many of us but that is
disregarded
by traders that have disappeared - hats off to those who remain.
How about this : whoever has it send me a copy please. I will look at the code compare it with the original copy I have and then try to create a program that will patch anyones legal copy upto the style of the upgraded version. To avoid copyright issues I will endevour to use different code in the patch - no problem for me as I am a menace as an assembler programmer and could never produce the polished code that the experts have done. Thanks to whovever sends a copy in advance. Duncan

BTW what happened about the upgraded Perfection that is limited to a few individuals because of worries about ownership of this no longer for sale WP by a defunct company -

There are other things the £4 could be spent on, like making the magazine colour, projects like printer software, a better SGC or a lottery bid for a portable case, USB, ethernet etc. etc. I think Quanta members are price innerlastic and therefore after over 10 years at £14 we should be raising the price. How many members will the reduction to £10 generate, have you got a plan to target poor QLers and potential poor QLers (say a free QL scheme)? Does the £14/£17 cost differential have to be kept? Lets not fade away.
Thanks for this contribution, Tarquin, it is the sort of discussion we should be having. I would like to see the subscription stay at £14 with the differential removed. (The £3 extra for overseas members only brings in £150 from an income of £6000). I don't think a reduction to £10 would bring in any new members, but £4 per member invested in QL development might encourage one or two more people to join.
Best Wishes, Geoff
