"It ought not to have, but then VX shouldn't have been part of such a discussion either." However when you wished to discuss and plug TopSolids (a product that you sell ) then everything was copacetic. LOL. jon
I haven't lost my sense of humor. Just thought I would point out a descrepency. I did see what you were trying to point out to John S. and I think you did it in a nice way. Did you perhaps notice I did not try and take John S. head off like I would have done in the past ? I welcome any factual discussion of TopSolid as long as it can be measured with and compared to other products for free by anyone who wishes to do so... ala what VX is doing. jon
Well Jon, maybe you should look into having the post removed off the servers. It sure was surprising for me to read anyway, maybe not anyone else. Jon, here's what I know, NO man if he's any kind of man at all would never ever beat up a woman, hit a woman, strike a woman out of anger, kick a woman half to death under no circumstances, that I'm sure you will agree with, but I was sure hell shocked when I read it. Someone was kind enough to send me Connie's picture, nice looking little lady, she looks very kind and thoughtful. Sure I can talk to Connie, maybe I can a cheer her up. Here's my email address, does she have one also ? John
[ LOL ..... A wasted effort (sorry to hear that though). He'd have no clue anyway what's supposed to be *right*.
She can be. She also can do some very desperate, mean and nasty things. Metal illness untreated can be devastating and it has been devistating for her. Connie is not allowed to use a computer in the jail she is currently residing at. Connie can only recieve letters and those letters have to be in an envelope that has a stamp printed on it... like you can buy from the post office. If you e-mail me I will send you her address and her cell / prisioner / jail number... don't really know what it's called. Connie is currently in the Sanford jail in Polk county near Orlando. I don't know if the State Of Florida releases any information and posts it on the web so that you would not even need to e-mail me and you could obtain it directly. Once again I have no intention of trying to have her post removed of the server. It's her post not mine and like I said it doesn't really bother me anymore. jon
Use all the "correct" names, BB <G>. Don't forget a Net search too. He's been very well known (as a pest) on many a BBS too but many posts are gone from many of them.
Well then, why didn't you just leave it alone? I don't waste the time or energy I have promoting my products in unproductive venues like this, and free demo's at the Missler level are not something a high probability customer is interested in. The TopSolid discussion I think you are referring to was not really about TopSolid at all and the result was that I volunteered to, and then actually did, translate some Catia files for a SW user - for free. I didn't try and sell him a thing, just helped him get a job delivered. Making yourself useful, professional to professional, is it's own reward and I suspect that if I needed the favor returned for some reason it would be, and gladly at that. You also have to consider that TS and SW do not compete. Not at all. They serve entirely different markets. Will TopSolid outperform SolidWorks? Absolutely, and anyone with a working knowledge of both will tell you that. This does not mean that everyone should run out and purchase TS nor does it mean that SW professionals are any less professional for their use of SolidWorks. The things SW brings to the table beyond the product are both formidable and remarkable. You shouldn't belittle any of it. DSS is a great company and they know what they want to accomplish. They can and will do whatever they think best. A SW user looking to migrate to a fuller solution is going to go with CATIA or UG, not VX, and if you have a hard look at those products the reasons are clear. Have you purchased a CAD/CAM/CAE or CAO product lately Jon? Do you really think your comments sway qualified purchasers in a positive and thoughtful way? They don't Jon, just the opposite. You are so in your face and abrasive that the value of your content is drowned out by your own vituperation. This is certainly your prerogative and within your control. You know I feel this way and I have said as much to you without getting all worked up. In my own small and humble opinion Jon, your proselytizing of the latest killer ap is the best thing that could happen, NG wise, for my sales. I don't mean that as a slam either, it's just true. Keep up the good work!
"Do you really think your comments sway qualified purchasers in a positive and thoughtful way?" I think my comments makes some people *think*. I could careless if they purchase or don't purchase software. I have a much different perspective than you do as unlike you I don't sell and support software and don't derive any financial benefit from whatever someone does or doesn't purchase. I think my comments cause some people to look at products they would not otherwise try. I think my comments promote comparitive discussion between products. "Keep up the good work!" I'll try. :>) jon
How much has he lied about? So they were about 12 when they started this? Seems a bit under age to me, even for CT. Has anyone noticed yet that you are clueless?
"Better than sliced bread"? Was that before or after you got caught claiming some parts others did were yours? After all your rants over all the years about the "better than sliced bread" stuff? Since you saw a free demo? You have to speak or him now, do you? So it's really, really good at IC, LSI & PCB design? Hey, it's YOUR "argument" afer all. So you don't want "total control" any more? What a hoot !!! You'd actually have to use it to do something. What? Surfaces? Have any actual "concepts"? How about just a brick? Etch-A-Sketch. Too complicated? This will be good I expect <G>.
No, it is and always was his decision not to upgrade. But it's not necessary to rant and rave about it - just get another program that works better for you and move on. Yes. Politeness is required on the Rhino newsgroup. That's part of the deal. If you can't deal with that, post elsewhere. No, rudeness is unacceptable. BS. It's just someone going back to a three year old level and throwing a temper tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted. If a program which you initially bought and liked doesn't evolve the way you like, that's too bad. If after a certain time of politely asking for stuff, you see it's not going to happen, don't upgrade, just move on. Hmm, funny. You'd think after all these years, of everyone being "disappointed" and "waiting and waiting" , there'd be no Rhino users left in the world... Should be nobody left on the Rhino NG either... Must be something wrong here... Why are all those "product loyalists" so loyal? No, it's not any more stupid than your arguments. Bottom line is, the market will decide which programs survive and which don't. Most likely both Rhino and VX will continue to grow and prosper. It isn't a one-or-the-other situation. What I don't understand is you and Michael seem to take it as a personal offense that Rhino didn't end up doing what you wanted it to do. But actually that's not for you to decide (nor me, for that matter). It's entirely up to Mr. McNeel, and how he sees fit to run his company and develop his product. OK, I have spent enough time on this thread, I have a lot of work to do, and it's Monday morning... --Mitch
They certainly do. I'll grant you that one. Indeed I will. What have I posted before about random chance & your guesses? Sooner or later you have to get something right, right? It was bound to happen if we waited long enough. They think that you are a buzzword impaired clueless idiot. I agree with them.
Heh, the following is highly bragadocious of which is fine, but you obviously dont know me or what I do each day. Which is OK. But next time do some research. Well, duh. Not design. I've rolled my own before. But if yer designing them then you got one on me. Well, water/oil/air. Ayuppers. Molds are kind of inherent to hydraulics. Tee hee Na, I aint a good writer. Plus I dont have a secretary or sidekick. Same as above And above Yea, I do order my own business cards from time to time. WOW. How kewl! I'm proud of ya! Bing wonders who or what that is? I wouldnt know. I would if I were you. Personally I accept that I made my own prison. You did forgit about running a shop with 8 people to manage though. You also forgot about quoting, direct sales, neumatics, metalluragy, actually running machines, programming, training, MIS, process flow, robotics, resin recommendation and processing, answering the phones, board meetings, cleaning the toilets, etc. So I think you got me a bit wrong in yer assesment. Next time do a little research. Bing
