We promised to have 1.0 done on October 7. We've slipped again unfortunately. There were some things with the user interface that were confusing for many users, and we've done some redesigning of the product to make it really, really easy to use -- "just like a phone".
We will have a new beta out in the next few days. We really think you're gonna like it. We appreciate your patience. And... we're extending our beta discount.
Be sure to read the known issues on the support page of the Bosco's Screen Share website. One that slipped by that we just discovered... If you are outside the US/UK and format your decimal numbers like "0,1234", you won't be able to remote control the mouse from your computer. Set the number format to "0.1234" in your system preferences or control panels to make this work. We have it fixed for a 1.0b5 release, which we will probably make in the next few days. Anyway, please check the "known issues" on the support page.
The next beta will have remote control. We now have it working pretty well for Mac OS X controlling Mac OS X and Windows systems. It works "acceptably well" for Windows controlling Mac OS X and Windows systems. Mac OS Classic remote control (being controller or controllee) isn't working yet.
Expect a new beta by 30-August. Our ship date will probably slip to 15-September. More news soon...
Performance of the "Composer" panel in the Mac OS X version of RealeWriter 1.0 has been described to us as "workable but sluggish". We agree and have a build in the labs that improves Composer text editing performance significantly and adds some additional features expected in a text editor, such as shift-click to extend selection.
We're working on it! We hope to have a 1.0.2 release in the next week. We appreciate your feedback, patience, and enthusiasm!
As a software developer, I love ATPM. Way back when I released the first version of Bosco's Foto Trimmer, I got an e-mail from these guys enthusiastically wanting to do a review of the product and it generated a lot of interest in my product and traffic to download it. ATPM is still influential because it is topical and thorough. Like TidBITS, always worth a little time to sit and read.
This is why we offer a 30-day trial (which BTW, Jack Flash did not sign up for so he could not have tried the software, hmmmm...). If users think it's a joke after 30 days, they don't have to buy. If they like it enough to buy, we'll be honored to have them as paying customers.
