Ruslan's initial comments was that it wasn't a big distraction and in fact
is was consistent with the current 2.0 development realities.

If I lose several hundred customers in that time because I don't have an OS
X solution that works properly than it's not a waste of time at all.

Based on discussions with Ruslan today, it sounded like I'd be opening my
wallet for $6000-8000 in immediate server licenses just to take care of my
current customers. I'm trying to figure out how to eat that amount for my
customers sake. I owe them a solution when OS X breaks prior Valentina
functionality.

In a way you're right-- all this new technology requires more than 4.5
months time. I'd bet it won't all be ready for prime time commercial
deployment before fall.

On the other hand, this is an asinine position for you to take after I've
made it clear that as a Valentina developer, I've been patient for years and
I am hurting with an existing user base of nearly a thousand of users. It's
a very long time in my situation Lynn. It's unfortunate you care so little
about the vital needs of this Valentina developer when Ruslan has a nearly
complete intermediate solution.
