The Underscore Archives

I just wish I liked Sage as much as Quickbooks!

I've got no problem with software companies making money - and sunset
policies are getting more and more common and the licence spells it out (if
you take the trouble to read it before buying it). Personally, as long as no
support is expected beyond a certain date for an old software version, I'm
happy for a client to continue using it (I guess most of us provide royalty
free licences to use apps etc that we build for them, provided they don't
try and resell it).

I guess the experience of someone trying to sell me something I didn't need
has just reminded me that we're so lucky in all other cases that we can
choose who we do business with, and who we walk away from!
