Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Yeah....Question is though - For HOW LONG??? With AWcom's current budget,
it certainly can't be very long IMHO...

This should have been AW's PRIORITY objective FROM DAY ONE rather than
throwing together some "virtual mall" which I doubt very many people even
knew EXISTED (let alone WENT TO) and thinking they'd just get dirty freakin'
"filthy rich" off that "mall" (yeah right! Makes me wonder just how many
bridges they're bartering on eBay) while treating US - THEIR USERS like the
CRAP we've been "treated to" over the past several months (Granted some
people more so and longer than others, but still).

This is EXACTGLY why I continue to boast about Live365 because THEY *know*
where they'd be without their users. That is OUT OF BUSINESS & IN DEBT
PAYING OFF LEGAL BILLS!!!

And if AWcom doesn't watch it, THEY will be "out of business" *themselves*
before long (And AW only has to worry about NetBroadcaster.com being exposed
to the CARP).

This release even includes improved security in ejections, which

One feature *I'd* like to see (BTW....Why wasn't this thread cross-posted
onto WISHLIST until now?? Found that to be kinda strange) is mass DELETION
capabilities. It's funny though how we can just simply hit CTRL+INSERT and
not only duplicate but also place an object in sequential place, but yet you
can't DELETE objects in the same manner.

Is it just me not hitting the right keys (like SHIFT+DELETE) or is this just
yet another MUCH NEEDED improvement left out of 3.3???

I took a perhaps more subtle "wait and see" approach myself, however though
I too had the same concern you did Brant (among other things at the time).
But youi are right. We shouldn't complain too loudly (who knows - Morfe
features just may be added when the final product comes out) and it *is* a
step in the right direction. :-)

Just my $.02 worth...Cheers for now everyone :-)
