There are a couple of thousand eCS users... the installer works fine. btw, you seem to have some sort of anal fixation.

Now .. to help you with the math, if IBM charges $180 for Warp 4 and $215 for SWC .. it costs $395 to get there with IBM .. and $329 SRP with eCS ...

Now .. if someone is clever enough to buy Warp 4 on eBay and they get eCS Entry 1.1 for $79 .. they would be saving a great deal over the IBM SWC price of $215.

Of course, the user can buy Warp 4 on eBay for $50 and go with a free fixpack. The product is unsupported and there is no legal accsess to fixes or drivers. From your tone, I doubt that license or legal access are issues for you.

And .. after all that, the user winds up with an unsupported OS .. while the eCS user has a supported OS, access to drivers and fixes, and a passle of software applications, a responsive vendor .. counts for something, and a product with a future.

But the $50 is well spent because it qualifies the person for the lower priced eCS upgrade from Warp 4 products.

So, we will keep packaging eCS in ways that meet the requirements of users. And they continue to buy.

No doubt someone is clueless. Isn't me. Isn't the person who gave eCS 7.8 ... isn't the happy group of eCS users.

It would seem to be .... you. You seem bitter and disappointed. I think you should try to relax. Something like eCS shouldn't upset you, so. You should try to get over it. Perhaps volunteer with Meals on Wheels or something like that.

Might make you feel better about yourself.
