I get the first, but the second is eluding me.

As for your thought to show how you set up your Realm in RealmWorks on You Tube, that would be a wonderful resource to have.

I'd like to get this thread back on track, how long is it going to be, really?

A question everyone would love to answer, Rob and team more than us I am sure. But no matter what, this cannot be answered until the answer is "Today".

Customers always want finite answers, but when they themselves are in the hot seat, know that this is product suicide to do so.

Reality is, no one has the magic mirror, no one is an oracle, we are just people. I am sure LWD would have loved to see it all working some time ago, but best laid plans are just that - plans.

If Rob states a date, and it slips, the general customer will crucify him, if answers too far out, the general customer will crucify him. The average person just wants a pound of flesh.

I get it, you want it now, so do I, but just know that overtime these posts arise, and stir the proverbial pot, Rob or a team member has to take precious coding and design time to post big long diatribes, that in the end just state the same thing as they always do and will:

"When it is ready."

Really, the fact the team is still here, updates are coming, support calls are being answered, LWD is working on RW.

I can assure you of one fact, RW will only be a market success (that's profitable long term) if and when they get the content market. You do not make money on $50 investment and life time unlimited sync/storage for your users.

I am not trying to be a jerk or disrespectful, I just know the time cost of these events. Last year I was technical lead for a huge mobility project that also included a new OS to be supported in out 11,000+ node enterprise, and the biggest cost of valuable time was my CIO and his right hand parrot. At one time about a quarter of the way down the long road I had estimated for my management they had wasted over a week of my time. Asking questions that were answered in the weekly and monthly status reports (worse these management reports wasted about 5x that time), stopping me on my way to and from my lab (why I begged to be able to working there all day as opposed to being visible).

Every time we stir the pot, for the information they do provide in a timely enough manner, we exact a toll, that toll is paid in what otherwise would have been progress.

Finally I also, being a computer gamer, know what half baked releases are. They suck way worse then the wait, are three times longer to a stable release then staying in the proverbial oven. There will always be bugs, problems, but a little extra time and effort on the front end, will save three times that time in fixes and issues. Wish my CIO would understand this, at his pay grade I shouldn't have to explain it, and it shouldn't have been like talking to my cat. I personally would rather wait a month or two longer, then have a half baked release.

One thing is certain, the better the release, the faster they can respond to the support calls for the issues what will sneak through, and the faster everyone enjoys the forth coming features.

We all want the content market and/or the features it promises. But it is not like we paid $50 and have been left to rot. Sides until its released we get free sync and storage, I am saved almost the cost of the product itself in that alone, that's more then I usually get when companies miss their timelines, usually I am told to just wait.

At least I am waiting with a small token of the reality that it is a much bigger project then first understood. I am not defending them, so much as figure I am in for the penny and the pound now, may as well be gracious about it, because way I see it is, it benefits no one to be otherwise.
