[DogParkList] MacMemoriesManager

[myles landstein]

Hmm

All the reviews  seemed  good, but one, hey   not all good  stuff     
in the world  or on   eham necessarily  gets   100%.  Typically  or  
statistically  speaking  most  people  who write   usually write  / 
call to  complain, in general.  Eham might   be  a bit of a  
statistical anomaly since  most  reviews  offer  a lot  of support   
but   'us' hams  are  a unusual  bunch. Always going to be a few  
people that  just don't understand the  stuff    or  don't like it     
this is  to to small to be  a reflection of the program


I really liked  the software, and if I am not  mistaken  is about the  
only  MAC  memory program out there.

On one hand   I am sure  anyone  can understand  Don being upset   
about getting  a bad review  ,  but  it wasn't the worst  review I've  
ever  seen,  and  who knows  the validity  of the reviewer?   Perhaps   
he had a bad day,   or  has  an ax  to grind?  Perhaps the person  
isn't  'well'  not saying he is  or isn't  but  just  who knows?   
Perhaps  that is  just  his opinion, were all entitled   no matter   
how  correct  or  misguided  .  I would never let  1  bad  review    
change my mind

My idea  would not  be to focus  on the minority  but the overwhelming  
majority  of people  who across   many  DogPark programs  , feel   
Don's work  is  really  great.

Mac Memories Manager has worked  great for me  on many radio's,   
worked  as it should have  and  allowed me to enjoy   2 things I  
really love , ham radio and  Mac  together.  All the other DogPark  
software  I've used works  great too.

Very sorry to hear it was loosing money, what other mac memory  
programs are people using?    I really hate   programming   memories   
into the  radio using the radio,    it's so much easier  to use the   
program,  and allows me to have a back up  on disk.



Yes  despite  all this  Don has  allowed  it to be available   for   
free,   which   shows   he is the better   man  ...

When I have the time to  compose  a well written  review  for eham ,  
yes even thou it's  now free  I will post  it,   as a matter  of   
principle



Continued fan
