RE: EMC for windows

["Tim Goldstein" <timg-at-ktmarketing.com>]

Hey Ray,
 I would agree that EMC and Mach1 should not be consider twins. I think
the more correct terminology would be to call EMC the ignored sister of
Mach1 <g>. 

Want to discuss the items in Mach1 that EMC doesn't do?? I think the
list would be a little longer than the one item you mention below that
in in EMC and not Mach1. I use both programs so can comment on them both
from actual experience. Mach1 is much more of a ready for market program
than EMC. EMC has a lot of promise, but is lacking in having a lot of
finer points polished. 

Someday someone will put a programmer on EMC full time to finish it up
and it will become a great commercial product. Just somehow seems that
software socialism just never quite makes the last step. Maybe there is
something to be said about commercial software and capitalism.
