| Hello: | |
| I ordered your latest version diaw.exe 0.97, but find your text next to | |
| impossible to use. No editing WYSIWYG features | |
| It also does not copy to MSWord. | |
| Unless you have a better way to use text, I want a full refund. | |
| Incidentally, this is free software; why did you charge me? | |
| This software is a rip-off. | |

| A rip-off is a rip-poff !!!!! | |
| "This could be a good stuff for this month's 1sth..." | |
| You need to clean up your English typing, before you widely publish it in a | |
| USER's FORUM. | |
| The gist of what I read is, that to obtain what I need I should read the | |
| source code and develop my own version? | |
| Huh???? I have a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in | |
| Computer Science, but I would not even begin to waste a minute to unravel | |
| the spaghetti code typical of Open Source Freeware. | |
| What you should feature in your FORUM is: "If a vendor charges $14.00 for | |
| Freeware, not his own, on EBay, should he declare under the Product | |
| Description that this software is available free of charge, including the | |
| User Manual, for a couple of minutes of download time? No need to wait a | |
| week for a CDROM to arrive from England. And that the free download is a | |
| later version than the $14.00 version sent on a CDROM via USPS sneaker | |
| mail? | |
| Then there is the deception that Dia is a "simper" version of VISIO? I | |
| downloaded a 60-day free trial of 2010 VISIO and I can tell you without | |
| reservation, Dia it is not even close! | |
| A rip-off is a rip-off !!!!!! | |

| Thank you for the laugh Fred, this has been by far the funniest series of mails to the Dia list I've ever seen. | |
| If I wasn't falling out of my chair right now I would agree with you: Dia is a "rip-poff". | |
| For the record it is also "simper" than Visio.? It may even be the "simpest" diagramming software there is. | |
| Good luck tilting at windmills. | |
| Yours etc., | |
