Same thing goes from users of commercial products too. I've developped a financial software that's being used by almost half the accountants of Canada. They're no better at giving feedback either (if that's any comfort ;-)...but I know they use it because I'm still in contact with the company I made it for, and they keep on upgrading to newer versions and are quite satisfied with it as per a few phone calls they get. But they wouldn't let us know that now would they? ;-). Anyways, I'm very satisfied with Windex, and these small changes you brought to it seem quite important to me. Excellent work if I do say so myself...wait, I do say so myself...hehehe... > > I guess I should figure out how to log the downloads from my website, > and nag people with "satisfaction surveys". > > -- > -- Stephe -- St�phane Richard "Ada World" Webmaster http://www.adaworld.com
