Casino Gaming Article from Bob Dancer - March 28th

#1

I agree with you, Missdueces. I had the same exact reaction that you did
when I read the article.

Bob's recent responses/explanations have not changed my mind.

I didn't see the column, it doesn't appear to be there this morning.

But there is no question for anyone with an unbiased point of view*,
that FVP was a remarkable breakthrough in video poker software. In
fact, I expect people like TomSki, Dean Zamzow, Gary Catlin and
Stanford Wong would agree. Is there things that Winpoker does better?
Yes, there is. I own both and use both (although I use FVP a whole lot
more).

FVP does things no other available software does. So even if you buy
every other piece of software on the market, you still won't have the
unique capabilities of FVP.

As far as market share, there is no question that Bob has done a
great job of promoting Winpoker in his magazine columns. Having Bob
market the program was a wise choice for Dean Zamzow. I don't know
aything about the sales figures for FVP, but if functionality is the
key, it will continue to do well for a very long time.

*If you spend years telling everyone how important analyzing penalty
card situations is, then a new program comes along that proves that
it's basically a waste of time, it's just possible that you might not
be unbiased, even if you didn't market a competing program.

It's still there.

Skip spoke of people with an unbiased point of view. Those people will
agree that I said nothing demeaning about FVP in the column.

It is indeed still there. I did not look until now, as I've lost
interest in those articles due to the recent content being aimed
primarily at personal promotion. However, as I felt I might have "an
unbiased point of view", I decided to read it in order to obey the
directions as stated below ("Those people will agree..."). I'm not
sure whether I agree on my own or because the fictional character "Bob
Dancer" directed me to do so. Beyond my conclusion (that is, it might
be from my own cognitive powers) that the article is not demeaning, I
saw no value in reading it. Whether the article's conclusions are
correct or not is of no interest to me. If I were to venture an
opinion that was not willed to me, I'd guess that those reading it
might feel inclined to try both products in order to compare them.
This would, of course, require purchase of both products.

Hey, Big Ken,
Do you, as a "fictional character", typically take such time to read
and respond to matter that "is of no interest to" you?

- Harry ...

... who, despite frequent perception, did not borrow his name from a
fictional character ...

Bev and I had to supress a big chuckle while on vacation last week. A
salesclerk, upon reading the name on my credit card commented in all
earnestness, "Did you mother name you after Harry Potter?"

Setting aside the "r vs. t" thing -- which admittedly is a natural
mistake, given that the letters closely resemble each other -- I was
conceived before Rowling ... Potter's "conception" obviously followed
much later. :slight_smile:

I also own both products.
My question: Do you run them simultaneously on the same computer, or do you use to separate computers. Mine only allows one session at a time.
Thanks for your inpout.

I own both and use both (although I use FVP a whole lot
more).

FVP does things no other available software does. So even if you buy
every other piece of software on the market, you still won't have the
unique capabilities of FVP.

Hi Ted;
  I'm not sure what you are saying. You cannot have both BDPW and FVP going at the same time? I can run both at the same time. I often have more applications running that the task bar can show, sometimes 10 or 12 (usually most of them are multiple instances of Firefox and Word and Excel).

Thanks for your reply Skip.
I understand multi-tasking. I get an error message, which I thought was a DLL issue. I will check further.
