Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[fab10]

Two cents from a customer who almost begged Shannon to publish v3.

With newer tech available (fortunately a regular occurrence) is the plan (if you're willing to divulge) to put all the bells and whistles into perfecting OF before replicating into other programs?

The reason for 3 versions in a few months is that OF is not just another program. Most users seem to agree that it is more foundational than any other program in the catalog, and that a successful OF run is very likely to make all other programs work better. As for the future, Shannon made it very clear that this is the last update to OF until 6G.

the customer is out of pocket 3 times

Many customers wanted to be out of pocket two or three times. Those who don’t want to be out pocket more than once are not affected since they already have a fully functional excellent product.

Consequently, no one will want to buy new subs as the possibility of a new version in a short while may be available.

Rather than jumping on the initial offering, it may be more prudent to wait a few months (though this can be a spiralling situation if regular updates are implemented at full cost).

I think it’s very clear that the same will not happen with any other product.

I don’t mean to be confrontational or disrespect your feedback but I felt obligated to say something because I am in part responsible for this upgrade.
