Re: Job Pricing Software
Wow! I just looked back over this and saw that my first post was on 25th October 2006!!!! Over two years ago....time really flies! I'm working on Version 2.00 at the moment, and it should still be released next year, with some big improvements. Haven't decided on a price yet, but with the recession and all, it won't be a big jump over the current price, and of course, current users will get an upgrade price instead. Anyway, happy holidays folks. L8rs.

Re: Job Pricing Software
Haha....sorry, I couldn't resist.
Here is the real sneak preview:
Note that I turned off a few bits, such as the fancy graphics and stuff, because I have to keep something hidden! Also, this version is obviously still ongoing, and as such the various boxes are not yet populated because I haven't created and linked up to the databases yet. This version will be database driven.....I won't tell you what database yet, but its free (The database....not the program! ) and won't cost anything extra, either from a 3rd party, or included in the price.
I'm trying this time in addition to improvements in Version 1.51, to get rid of some bad things by going back to basics.
Example:
Does anyone really care if you can store the cutting area of your Cnc-Machine in your estimation software? I think not! Its a waste of space and time. I'm putting in what needs to be there for effective estimation software, and ditching the unnecessary baggage which I let slip into V 1.51. I apologise for that....I got carried away!
Obviously important items will be kept, and improved on in most cases.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY THOUGHTS. There is still lots of time to throw things at me, this is a few months away. I take constructive criticism very well.

PS: I understand that the above images are pretty bland, and don't give you much to go on. Hopefully it will come clearer near the release date.

Release Date Pushed Back to 4th Quarter 2009
Hi all,
In the last few weeks a number of personal aspects in my life have pretty much gone to hell in a handbasket. At this point the Q&C V.2 build is about 6 months behind, however, one of the knock-on effects of everything going to s#it, is that because I can't do other things I need to at the moment and I'm trying to keep myself busy, I have more time to spend on the new program, so hopefully I'll get it back on timetable.
I just want to let everyone know what the situation is because I've had a number of enquiries over the past week or so.
I won't be releasing the program until its 110% ready, so I'm not going to rush just to 'get it out there'. Please bear with me. I still intend it to be done this year, it just might take a few months longer than expected.
Thanks for your understanding.

Quote&Cost .... Hello strangers .... Sorry for delay!
Hey strangers,
Those of you who keep track on the CNCZone would have seen my post at the start of this year regarding Quote&Cost. I was away in a pretty crappy part of the world and security settings wouldn't let me access the Vectric Forum.
Anyhow, because of my changed circumstances the program was cancelled, life has had much bigger priorities. I had intended refunding everyone's money but have been battling with PayPal since last year to get limitations removed on my account. I must have sent them copies of every document I own at this stage! Now that I'm home again I hope this will be sorted asap and I sent them stuff again this evening, so fingers crossed!
I haven't received any request for refunds from anyone, but its a personal thing that I feel some people rightly expected (As I had promised) future discounts when the first non MSExcel build came out, and at the moment the program is stopped indefinately. I wouldn't feel right keeping anybody's money, even those who paid a few $ and received all versions. Sincere apologies nobody has heard from me, circumstances combined with embarassment that I couldn't refund peoples money because of PayPal have also kept me away until I could sort out my PayPal account.
Anyhow, in summary:
PayPal account should be sorted this week.
I will refund the first 50% who bought the program this month.
I will refund the second 50% who bought the program next month when I get paid.
I would like Tony, Brian, Mark and all the other forum members to know how much I appreciated their support and enthusiasm for the program. I'm very sorry it all collapsed last year.
Hopefully now that I have full access to the site I can start to catch up and get using Aspire in my spare time. My tools are still in storage indefinately because I still dont have a workshop, nor money to finish my CNC build from 2008/2009, but everything is thankfully getting back on track with big progress expected in the next few weeks so I'd like to start getting back up to speed and if I can re-learn the software to be able to help out anyone else on the forum that would be great too.
Thanks.
Diarmaid.

Re: Job Pricing Software
Paypal appears to be sorted.....at least partly! I have refunded a number of people but am receiving errors for quite a few also. Maybe some peoples emails or accounts have changed.
Those who have not received a refund please pm me and I will reply with my current PayPal email and price you paid for the software so that you can request the PayPal payment from me. I will then send it as normal with PayPal. Thanks.
PS: Thanks all for the welcome back!
