Creator Pro 8.0 has BUGS - sorry!

[Jeffrey Mehlhorn]

Sorry, didn't mean to cause any controversy. Maybe my SUBJECT was a little
too strong. But I wanted to get word due to some of the problems I've been
having. But in reality, every program that comes out has its share of
problems. I guess I assumed since the program went through beta testing,
everything would be 100% perfect. But everyone knows that never happens.
There are always going to be issues.

With that said, I have been using Creator since it first came out. It has
helped me a lot through the years. More than anyone will ever know. I think
that is why I am such a loyal user to this day (not to mention it was one of
the best Mac only programs back in the day). I would love nothing more than
to see Creator take off and increase its market share. Its one of the
easiest programs I hooked on, and it still does the job until this day!!!
