AKROBAT SOHO Organiser 7.0 has a number of improvements that I really like. However I have Tiger on one machine and Leopard on another plus SOHO Organiser on both... Both machines ran version 6.5.4 and I used to be able to network across my macs - info entered into one machine would show up on the other etc. "Great", I thought. Enter SOHO 7.0 which, incidentally only runs on Leopard. If you upgrade from SOHO 6.5.4 and use SOHO 7.0 to open your old database then the DB will be irreparably changed. The result? The DB is rendered useless for anything under version 7 and can no longer be used by SOHO 6.5.4 or older. This is a sneaky way of forcing everyone who uses the network feature and uses Leopard to update to SOHO 7.0 - as you'll HAVE to upgrade ALL your machines. At the same time screwing everyone else over who happens to have the a set-up like my own. (ie. older machines and/or different OS's on different machines). However, as we all know this is common software company behaviour. So now I can no longer network as I used to, 'cause SOHO 7.0 wont talk to SOHO 6.5.4. CHOICES: 1. Downgrade to 6.5.4 and hope my backed-up DB still works. ...if it doesn't then.. 2. Buy a new Mac that can run Leopard and install SOHO 7.0. 3. Use another application. I'll downgrade. No big deal for me. Chronos should take care 'cause they alienate their customers and judging by the posts a good percentage of their once loyal customers go for the 3rd choice. (Version 7.0) |
