Would you describe NLs actions as well-meaning, or have they been the 'telling lies to keep sales going' (commiting fraud) type?.

I will absolutely, unequivocably say that NL is experiencing classic corporate growing pains, nothing more. Sometimes those pains can be life-threatening... that nearly happened to my own company, where suddenly we exploded and didn't have the resources to meet demands. Trying to get the pipeline/staff up to the client needs as quickly as we needed almost didn't happen. Had a few months there with some very angry people, but we adapted. I would have preferred to have a nice, stable slow growth, but suddenly the phone started ringing and I said yes one too many times. But we made it, and made right with those who were upset. There were only a few, and we've been humming along nicely since then, but we learned some important lessons.

NL just got in over its head with Maxwell; it was far bigger, with far bigger demand than they ever expected, and they've been playing catch-up ever since. That's my guess. I hope they survive the growth for the same reason my company did: the product was sound, and the need was high. We just had to get our stuff together, while still maintaining 100% up-time. Very difficult, and I know NL is in the same boat. They've got to continue bolstering application/customer support while not sacrificing development. It's a balancing act, expensive, and unfamiliar territory. But it can be done.

at the end of all this i just would like to know ...if there will be un apdate and in case when.... which is the question posed in the first massage of this thread...
i think that fanboys and complainer would agree on this... and both would be glad if some significant update would be given... wouldnt they?

Crybaby bitch mode....ON

Your right Mike this is exactly what they should be doing, problem is this is exactly what they don't do.

I've got to ask why is this something that is unfamiliar to NL, don't they already have development of Real Flow under their belt? How hard is it to do what you say your going to do, does anyone remember how many times they promised to keep us informed in "the coming days" WTF.

[Kabe]

WTF go away cry baby...

Well, you joined at November 21st, about 2.5 months ago.
So you are the cry baby here, literally.

Let's hear you in half a years time if there's still not a product.

Some people here wait for over one year now for something that was
announced as close to release when they bought it.

You have no fing idea how much false information was released in this
process. So you might watch the show a little time before calling names.

Another one of you, just because I joined 2.5 months ago doesn't mean sh#t buddy (oh scratch that you not my buddy). I've seen maxwell evolve since alpha stage and I am pleased with its development albeit slow.

Cry baby yeah right, you don't see me bitching at every turn of the corner.

So mister maxwell snob take it elsewhere, your comments won't change my feelings.

[MIKE] Cool it with the direct attacks and name calling, it's against policy and we don't need it. This is your Free Warning... you know, 'cause you're new here

Well if nothing comes of Maxwell oh well $500 wasn't my life savings. I think I'll get over it.

BTW you think your Government has never lied to you, what have you done about that?

[mverta]

You can argue with my philosophy of supporting Maxwell, but you can't argue that I at least practice what I preach. I'm testing, communicating, being straghtfoward, and hopefully respectful more often than not. I've posted renders, put myself in the firing line... I'm not sure what else I can do.

Man you really are a nube.

Please tell me what the Government has to do with anything relevant that we've been talking about.

So because Governments lye and make stuff up that makes it ok.

BTW, check out what this guy has been doing with his free time:

Sorta makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Oh, puhleeze... if and when you send me your Maxwell-killing renders done with his engine I'll give this a moment's thought, not before. Com'on...

[Maxer]

Mike you don't think its dam strange that a single guy was able to develop an engine that produces Maxwell like images by him self with no money or development team. I think NL should hire him.

[ricardo]

Time to kick this thread off topic... and ship some prozac to those refreshing the announcements thread every 15 minutes, just like me! .

There is a serious serotonin shortage going on around here.

[jrandom]

Merely stating people are lied to all the time. Not saying that I like it but what are you going to do about it?

N00b here yes thats for sure

@mike sorry no more name calling...

Sorry if I have offended anyone, forget I opened my big mouth

... there's always a Main Brain. Maxwell has one, too.
