From seeing After Dark 2.0, all I can say is that I'm impressed with the work that was put into it... What really bothers me is that being a REAL registered user, that I wasn't aware of this or still haven't gotten an upgrade letter in the mail... Come on!! Support the people that bought!!

And no, I did not receive my letter yet, either. Back to the subject of support. I know there's thread going on last week about the price of upgrading to 2.0. I am satisfied, and willing to pay $14.95 to upgrade my After Dark. But why, WHY, do I, as a registered user of After Dark, have to pay the same price as Pyro's user who wants to switch to After Dark? Should registered users have a higher rank than the users of the competitor product? __Mouse.o()~ --------------- Project Bluebonnet & Texas Center for Educational Technology - Dhanapong "Mouse" Saengrussamee | AppleLink : U1364 | BITNET : mouse@untvax Technical Support, CECS Dept., | BIX : d.mouse.s | CompuServe : 71301,1516 University of North Texas, | GENie : d.saengrussa | IP : 129.120.1.4 PO Box 5155, Denton, TX 76203-5155 | Internet : mouse@vaxb.acs.unt.edu voice (817) 565-4435 | SPAN : utspan::utandx::untvax::mouse fax (817) 565-4425 | THENet : untvax::mouse ------------------- UUCP : {...!uunet!convex!iex}!ntvax!vaxb.acs.unt.edu!mouse

I just installed my upgrade (or actually I bought a new version at the show since it was only $4 more and I plan on giving the old one to my sister (Bruce - is there any way to transfer registrations?)) of After Dark 2.0 and found that the sound features did not work under MultiFinder. I first thought it was SoundMaster's fault, but SoundMaster and After Dark co-exist fine in the Finder. MultiFinder with no inits still removes the sounds unfortunately. I'm using version 6.1b7 of MultiFinder because of the Set Aside feature and can't go back. (For those using that version of MultiFinder, try dropping the Apple menu, then holding down the option key. The Set Aside entry will change to Set Aside Others, allowing you to put all the other open applications in the background - extremely useful) Any suggestions or should I wait for After Dark 2.01?

I'm on a Mac IIci running System 6.0.5, Finder 6.1.5, MultiFinder 6.0.5 and After Dark 2.0. The sound works fine here. It also works fine on an SE/30 running the same System software. Both machines run a slew of other INITs, so I would suspect the problem is MultiFinder 6.1b7's fault. <chaz> -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Must think...bubble pipe will relax me and I think..." - Flaming Carrot clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone

Engst pv9y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu I also have the upgrade to 2.0 of After Dark and am running it on my IIcx without any problems at all. Sounds work fine, color is impressive, and the Fish Module even fakes out the cats I Have. I do not see why the beta MF would cause you a problem, but if it were, the latest version of it is b9, b7 is an older version of MF with the set aside feature that Apple should have installed in either 6.0.3-4 or 5... But nonetheless something else is causing you a problem, AD's sounds work fine under MultiFinder 6.1b9 for me.. and don't see why b7 would be any different, though I guess anything is possible?.. -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp.

I called them about the third weeks of July, the girl who answer the phone said the the upgrade letter will be mail to registered user in the middle of August. And there's already lots of posting about how good it is.....from those who brought it from MacWorld. Where is mine? So I can post how I am fond of the product. I also post a question a couple of days ago inquire why I, as a registered user of After Dark, have to pay the same price, to upgrade my old 1.x, as those users of competitor-to-After-Dark whom want to switch. No answer to that, yet. Probably, by now, my name must have been already bumped down the list of receiving the "upgrade notice" by several notches. Ha! CE Software, how much do you charge for switching? __Mouse.o()~ --------------- Project Bluebonnet & Texas Center for Educational Technology - Dhanapong "Mouse" Saengrussamee | AppleLink : U1364 | BITNET : mouse@untvax Technical Support, CECS Dept., | BIX : d.mouse.s | CompuServe : 71301,1516 University of North Texas, | GENie : d.saengrussa | IP : 129.120.1.4 PO Box 5155, Denton, TX 76203-5155 | Internet : mouse@vaxb.acs.unt.edu voice (817) 565-4435 | SPAN : utspan::utandx::untvax::mouse fax (817) 565-4425 | THENet : untvax::mouse ------------------- UUCP : {...!uunet!convex!iex}!ntvax!vaxb.acs.unt.edu!mouse

I didn't think that Berkeley Systems played favorites, but maybe that impression is incorrect. Seems to me that if the product was shipping I should have been informed of an upgrade opportunity well before now. Bruce Burkholter (sp?) if you are listening, what the h*ll is up??

I don't believe this, a bunch of grown people whining over
the late arrival of a screen blanker update??? I am sure
that Berkeley Systems is working on mailing upgrade notices,
but they sure the heck aren't Microsoft in size to have a ton
of support peeple to make sure you are all upgraded instantly.
Give em a break, you'll get your notice soon enough I'm sure.

I know you are one of the "elite", and I'm sure it's great to go around flaunting that fact that you have the upgrade, but your admonishment would be better received from someone who hadn't already gotten the update. It just so happens that I have had some problems with AD interfering with some applications that I run, and the new IQ task management looks like it will clear up some of these problems. I think your "holier-than-thou" attitude reeks, Norm, even though I've always thought your postings were of value in the past. I'm willing to give Berkeley Sys. a break, but they simply have not handled this upgrade well. Go back to giving people good advice Norm, and save the preaching for those who ask for it. - Ed Rotberg -
