Now he took the money and disappeared, leaving behind his own child (jv16 PowerTools) just like this without a word and also abandoning all of us, users of his software and, worse, trying to still make more money by sending us emails proposing to buy platinum licences of the software, well knowing that people buying it will never receive the licences nor any support.

In the end I strongy suspect there'll be nothing at all mysterious or sinister behind any of this.

Probably either Microsoft or Uncle Sam. :huh:-40hz (June 22, 2014, 10:17 PM)
