Introducing The SHARK

here we go again.....

what should I do.....Listen or pull the trigger???

How about showing a tad bit of respect to advertisers by simply ignoring the thread if you're not interested, instead of taking useless potshots.

Thank you.

Truthfully, it is an exciting and challenging project.

Have not had this much fun in years.

thought this was a thread about my ex mother in law

I am excited to hear more. I think I need to see screenshots, etc to get a better understanding if it will convince me to move from pen/paper

Dave,

Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work and disregard the negativity. Your postings on this board and your contribution to the game are admired and respected.

well said..i agree... always going to be unhappy people

''You guys just have no idea how complex a piece of software like this is.

I actually tried to hire a programmer to help but the work was so sub-standard that I tossed all his work out and began again''


trust me i believe you

[Dave Schwartz]

Thanks for the encouragement, guys.

I really am enjoying the work effort. It is a lot to do but for a software developer, solving complex problems and doing "cool stuff" is the essence of life.


Anyone who is reading the content on our website will notice that there has been a significant upswing in the last few months. This is because we've now got a staff of 6 people doing things.

This has just made a huge change in my world because I am no longer carrying the entire effort on my shoulders. I still produce the content myself, but now I have people a doing other stuff like transcribing, editing, posting the actual content and helping with videos.

As such, my production has just gone through the roof.


Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all.

When not use files from Brisnet and Trackmaster

[traveler]

Dave, if I understand data will be HDW data downloads which are on a monthly subscription basis for other software products, will this also be monthly download priced and if so will the file be compatible with your HSH product?

Any idea on the data costs?

MANUAL input of data into the program - tell me I misread that?

Thank you.

Monthly subscriptions at a time is to expensive for many unless you play most days . Files from Brisnet are cheaper and would sell more software .

This was a beef of mine back when his program was in the earlier stages.
Dave is a smart enough man to develop a program that changes with individual inputs and can be different from one person to the next and still use DRF Files. But he continues to use his "files" at a cost so that you are "locked" in. Yes, he mentioned that manual input can be done also , but we all know how that will end up. Being here since 1990 and has made money from this site, you think he'd say OK...Let me thank everyone here and give them a good product that wont rape them...If NCG can do it, than why cant he...???

You are certainly entitled to your opinion within whatever bounds there are on the bbs.

To be fair (IMHO), I think we need to let Dave respond to the data cost issue. If he is going with that monthly download fee structure that is HDW's way of doing business, then he has determined that is the business model he wants to pursue and the market will determine whether he makes a buck or not.

data cost was asked before ...but he doesn't respond
