First let me say I like Vue the program. Yes it’s cheap. Yes it has bugs. But I am a realist. You get what you pay for. Corba has some very good points. And like a growing number of other users can see the truth. Mostly people like this don’t come here to shed any light on the truth because they get flamed on. However since Dale directed his post at me. I feel I should respond. And if my response helps some user see the truth then some good may come of it. If not flame away.

 

Yes you’re right Dale all artists have egos. In fact every human has one.

 

This fact can be a very valuable commodity for a company like e-on. e-on never lifts a finger against a nay sayer, they don’t have too. They just let the ego crew pound on them as it cost e-on nothing and has proven to be very effective. They don’t even have to worry about liability as these ego warriors don’t actually work for e-on. Well in fact they do, but they don’t know it. e-on will use these ego inspired customers to save money. They become beta testers, sales people, technical support helpers, graphic add producers and in Dales case philosophers. (that was a joke Dale) All for free. The ego dollar goes a long way.

 

What I find personally funny. Many won’t admit they have fallen into this manipulative trap. They want to flame the messenger. The truth will some times hurt. But it still remains a fact. A fact many don’t want to acknowledge for the fear they are being duped. I mean, no one willingly wants to be manipulated or used.

 

Honestly how long did it take for you to write that response Dale? And what really is the result? Chip? LOL.  Add up all his responses and you got a book. Hey guys, it is a free country and I really could care less about what you spend your time on. Just don’t shoot the messenger. If you want to remain a blind ego inspired worker for e-on, please be my guest. e-on has learned a long time ago the worth of feeding your egos and it pays off for them big time. (I can hear the key boards clicking away on that one lol.)

 

Surely many will respond with, I enjoy helping out. Or I want to give back because it feels good. Or I am just trying to help others with the program. But the bottom line is e-on has feed your ego in some way to make you feel important. Then they capitalize on that feeling. Very innocently. Think about it.

 

Does that make them a bad company? Does that make them bad people? Not at all. In fact it makes them pretty damn smart.

 

Now, if there is a way to turn e-on’s methods 360 degrees and actually get them to pay out for your efforts. Then, wa la. What works for the goose can work for the gander. Good luck with that one however, as the purse strings are held tight. And the e-on ego is far larger than any one of ours. But it is possible as I have done it.

 

What works best in America is if you feel a product you purchased was mis-represented or does not work the way it was advertised. You take it back. If you can not get your money back then you simply quit buying it. If enough people do that then the company either makes changes that will help keep the customers or they go out of business. This works pretty well I have noticed.

 

At any rate, enough time wasted on this subject. Good luck to you all.
