[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5367885, member: 23977"] Sure- that's a pessimistic way of looking at it... Or you can look at it as saying: They will have more man hours available for use on new projects because they don't have to split their team between- Updating the CB Database Updating the MB Database Updating the Compendium Database Working on new Features Developing new tools. Now they only update one DB, and work on new features and front end tools. In addition since the client works on both PC and MAC they only have to support one tool to offer usability on two major platforms. (As opposed to what they would have had to do with the old CB, which was PC only, so they would have had to make an entirely new MAC platform, adding another front end and another DB to the list...) Aside from that, customers have every right to quit using the system, just like they did with the compendium. They haven't taken your ability to use the old CB away, so if you consider your subscription having gone towards that, they haven't removed something you paid for. They just no longer support updating that system. All future subscription money will go towards using the tool, and accessing the library. It's up to you to decide if using the tool and accessing the library is worth the cost of the subscription. [/QUOTE]
