WOW! I can't believe where this has gone. Again, a true testomony to how UNprofessional our profession has become!
First, let me address those that accuse me of somehow being affiliated with Compuhost. I guess it depends on your definition of AFFILLIATED? I started out as a very satisfied user of one of their other products, FastTracks, and started using Compuhost around the time of its first release in 2005. Since then I have offered quite a few feature suggestions, some they instituted, some they didn't, but at least they listened! I have also participated in a few alpha-beta test sessions, as I'm pretty sure Sevarin has. But most of all, I feel a part of the development of Compuhost, and to a small degree, feel a little responsible. I've also become sort of a Compuhost marketer and go-to guy for fellow Compuhost users in my area, some of which are Compuhost users because of me. So, if this defines an affiliation in your eyes...GUILTY AS CHARGED!
To Toger: Although you're probably going to deny it, isn't it true that when you first released Autokdj, you self proclaimed yourself as knowing more than the other software developers by publicly stating something to the effect of "they are stupid, the money is not in selling their software, its with selling content. The secret is giving away the software, and charging for the content." Bring back memories Toger? Well, history seems to have proven otherwise hasn't it?
And now Tricerasoft: I gave your organization alot more credit than you obviously deserve! You've now lowered yourself to using forums such as this to promote your products by trying to discredit others? WOW! Personally, I tried your Remote Tool, it truly looks like a child with a crayon designed the screens! Is that the best you can do? And let me remind you that it was MICROSOFT that introduced the word PROFILE (as in USER PROFILE) to the common computer user (UNIX and other systems before that). NOT YOU! So Invicion's choice to use the term only makes sense. If the use of a simple WORD constitutes copying to you, than you owe MICROSOFT some royalties, yes?
The fact is, Invicion, through hard work and listening to their users continue to deliver top notch products, improving on some competitor ideas, innovating with their own. But isn't that the way its supposed to be? If not, you wouldn't have the choices in cars, appliances, restaurants (the list goes on and on) you have today! I will not lower myself by further participation in this debate. I was raised to respect the opinion of those you respect as a person, and not waste time on those you don't.

Once upon a time, many, many years ago, in a country far away, there were many people who had no transportation. They had to walk everywhere they went, and it was not very effiecient.
Their leader decided to do something about the problem and came up with an idea: make cars cheap and affordable so that all the people or almost all the people could afford to buy one and get around their country to to the things that needed doing much more efficiently
A "people's car", if you will.
Into production they went, and it was good idea that worked well, so much so that the car was eventually exported to other countries, most notably to the US and Canada.
The company that was created as a result o f the leader's idea was Volkswagen, a company still in business today.
The leader? That was Hitler.
My point?
You don't have to like the originator of an idea or even respect him.
But that doesn't mean it's not a great idea.
Nor was toquer's any less a great idea, just because he used a few choice words that you don't approve of.
As for professionalism, tbreen, you are currently shooting yourself in the foot.
At least it appears so to me.
