is a very good product. Problems are introduced (IMHO) when y’all
take something that works perfectly well and try to over-engineer it as a “release
bell-and-whistle” instead of an add-on. Voicemail and Multi-tenant
parking are great examples that come to mind. If you’re a clunker
like me, you would rather keep everything in text files and use AGI’s to
do bell-and-whistle stuff. But NOOO – you have to disable these new
“features” because the developer was so hot to get it into the new
release that he (that’s a “royal he”) puts it up for
inclusion and we give 1000 users a bad impression of the new release when he
could have made it an add-on and more thoroughly tested it and gave us all that
3 days of sleep we will never get back.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

just as well as 1.4 for 99 percent of everything I do, but then again, I don’t
do nearly as much as other posters on here.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
