We just dont understand your 'Logic'.

Why should anyone have to go out and buy yet another software conversion
software because the EXS24 software that you purchased does not work?
This is unreasonable.

You are at fault as well. I am sure that you have exerted so much pressure
to bring the EXS24 to market that Emagic, probably against their better
judgment, released the product a little early , knowing full well that it
was not functioning properly. But it was probably the best compromise at the
time.
We saw all the email on EXS24. Everyone was waiting with great anticipation.

Yes - lets just send yet another 'Bug' report. Do you honestly think that
they dont already know about the weakness in the software? Do you honestly
believe they released it without that knowledge?

The company is doing very very well. So long as they have customers who buy
their product site unseen. Did you notice how all they ever advertised was
how it loaded samples quickly? Well thats all it seems to do real well.

I think it is safe to say that Emagic sold about 10,000 Exs24 units
initially. Which in US$ translates to roughly $3,000,000. We know about the
costs etc. Nevertheless, thats pretty substantial project from a very small
development team. I think it is further safe to say that they will sell
another 10,000 over the next year. So conservatively speaking they should
turnover about $6,000,000 for year one on this product not to mention the
additional sales of LAMP and LAWP for those that want to use the EXS24.
Thats very good profitability for a product that essentially is not
professionally useable at this time.
Well all we can say is that it is good marketability on the strength of
their established credibility.

Good luck to them and to you.
