To The Captain:

Just as you have said that this is your last post on this topic, this will be my first and only post. We have been meeting with Etronics, the manufacturer of the 990 and the both of us are collaborating on a comprhensive update of the software, which will be available to all customers by download when it is completed and field/beta tested. As you might suspect we read and analyze every comment in this forum.However, as we said from the very beginning, we do not use this forum to promote or cheerlead our point of view. The Saloon is the forum of our customers and potential customers.

As we learn more about the 990 behavior and the desires of our owners we constantly strive to improve its' software behavior. As has been mentioned by other Outlaws, this is a complicated process. Every code change often has other unintended side effects. Therefore it takes time to "get it right"

We also stand on our own six year track record of our customer support. We have assembled a list of changes that we want to see implemented and are spending a great deal of time ensuring that theey behave as intended.We promise that the software changes will make the 990 even better. Will these changes address every wish? We doubt it. There is always one or two unusual cases that might require a totally different approachnot possible in the 990 platform. However,what we are working on should satisfy most of the issues pointed out in this forum.Please give us the benefit of the doubt and let us get our job completed.

For the majority of you, we are pleased with your reaction to this remarkable product. Thank you for reading this. Now back to the dungeons.
