Hi all,
I would really regret if my question would make Andy being less motivated to continue his software in the end.
IMHO, CB is a very helpful software filling a gap between very complex systems like linuxCNC and semiprofessional software snippets. Though it allows for many functions and AFAIK works very reliable, it is rather easy to use.
Also, what I really like is the fact that is available on linux machines which still often is not the case in professional software.
I really admire anyone who is continuously working on a complex software alone, which seems to be the case here, if I understood correctly. The risk of being frustrated by a lot of requests and critics combined with limited positive feedback or in many cases even insufficient financial support led to the end of many good software projects in the past, if they were not being supported by a big company.
From my point of view, it is also ok if I have to wait for a licence for one week or so. If I order materials, it sometimes can take weeks or even months to receive them, and nobody seems to care.
I was just confused by the information on the website and the comments on the net suggesting that it takes few hours, 24 in maximum.
Here, a short note in the shop or mail system would be very much appreciated that gives a hint in case of holidays or similar.
Similarly, it would be nice to have an automatic feedback mail for messages from the web form (which might be announced there), as the fact that seemingly sometimes mails are being lost there of course is somewhat irritating.
But all of this should not question the general usefulness or applicability of CB, IMHO.
I'm still looking forward to my license and will be happy to receive it.
Nic
