a hell of a lot of hours into protean.
Years.
I certainly never received any communication from Rob to that effect
Well you certainly never recived communication from Rob or anyone else to the opposite of that effect either. In fact there was no 'Buy Now' button for ProteanMax. So I don't see how you got so confused.
Or were you one of those people that bought MacMax and consequently thought you bought a beta PC product as well? In which case higher power help you...
No one here is claiming anyone made any promises.
Yeh. So @#!* happens, life got in the way and you appear to be blaming Rob personally for that.
You aren't going to get another release
He actually is (the final clean up release) and he's still complaining. =]
If a piece of software claims to offer functionality/features that clearly aren't "fully working", then how can you claim said software is "fully working". That is a ridiculous statement...
The only feature I know of that is advertised on the product page that is broken is find and replace. Which never really worked in the first place =]
Because you missed that is not an excuse,
Amen.
