I know this was meant as humorous, it was not funny. I paid good money for
my Mac version of Translator. I have gone to the web site many times, have
looked for news of an updated Translator for the EXS Mark II. For the Mac. I
would need both hands to count the number of times I have signed up for the
"Newsletter" so I could learn relevant news - and have never ever received
any. Meanwhile the Windows version gets revision after revision.

You always seem to have time to update the Windows version.

For All I know, all the features I always wanted in Translator are finally
there but I have not been informed of this. Instead I read nerdy humor as
quoted above. Garth, in case you have not figured it out yet, this is a list
principally for users of the Emagic EXS, which for the last few years has
been Mac only.

Sorry, my day job (physician) demands use of Windows gear and it truly
sucks. I use it and sometimes it even works. Macs simply work. Sorry you
feel you must support Windows over the Mac, even write little programs for
it to make it actually do something useful. Why do you hang around here? You
don't do anything for the Mac community.

And as of your posting today I have made a decision. I do not do any more
for you either.

Sincerely,

Bob Vandiver
