[PLUG-Devel] Suggestion for Developers

[Dazed_75]

Even if true, that does not mean it SHOULD be ignored.  Those folks who are
NOT paying customers are still word of mouth PR, there will always be some
percentage of paying customers who are on lower end computers, and on top
of that, some developers are developing FOSS anyway.  Not all FOSS is free
of cost but a lot of it is.

In short, I believe the author of the article is totally correct in that
any developer who ignores the customer with low end hardware is shooting
his/her career in the foot.

Please protect my address like I protect yours. When sending messages to
multiple recipients, always use the BCC: (Blind carbon copy) and not To: or
CC:. Remove all addresses from the message body before sending a Forwarded
message. This can prevent spy programs capturing addresses from the
recipient list and message body.
