Hi Donald,
Free beer; I like the sound of that; it's the last race of our
Catamaran Winter series this weekend and 3 of us can win it - I
expect to drink lots of beer afterwards; it's by Birthday on Friday
too so I'll be "out drinking with the boys"...
I think the problem with registratiion was mine. I created it too
soon; before Sailwave was mature enough; and used cheques. I can
understand people not really wanting to send cheques through the
post - also something I didn't realise was that the bank charged me
$5 for cashing every dollar cheque!! A couple of people have just
sent me emails saying they would have registared if it'd been a
credit card system... Just for the record I'm not unhappy with
things - I just don't want to keep the system going as it stands.
I'll be back begging for your cash at a later date :-))
I just hope that the people who have registered do not feel let down;
but perhaps I can take this oppertunity to assure them that they'll
never have to pay a penny for any version of Sailwave and it's
derivitives that comes out in the future...
Regards,
Colin J

I was just on my way out the door to post you a mail order when
your
email arrived. I'm rather shocked that so many people use your
program,
ask questions, expect answers and modifications, and cannot make
some
small compensation to you. The work load is huge. Having an easy
to use
scoring program makes my job so much easier and leaves more time to
drink the free beer provided to scorers at our Club. Anyway, I
shall
meander to the post office then to the Club to drown my sorrows at
hearing the news. Bye, Donald
