Ok.... why should I not be critical? Let's add this up, shall we?

Are you telling me that a very often-requested (by many people) feature is okay
to be IGNORED by a supposed "MACINTOSH COMPANY" like Netopia. This isn't rocket science...

Even Microsoft's POS anti-apple group made that work in the "Remote Desktop Connection". So, you KNOW if Microsoft for Mac put it in there it CAN'T be very difficult...

Thats funny... here's a supposed PRO-MAC company who, through SEVEN PLUS YEARS AND VERSIONS can't put a simple feature that the EVIL MICROCRAP EMPIRE can put in their pre-release public BETA (which works great for the early stages, I must add).

GRRRRRRR

Don't shoot it into the ground? - dgreenbaum

Why don't you rip on Timbuktu for not letting you edit photographs or word-process book-length documents, while you are at it? I mean, as long as you are downgrading it for not having irrelevent features that you personally seem to think shoul dbe there. Hey, I think Timbuktu should really be a 1st-person shooter video game...I'm gonna rate it zero stars because it's not!

Here's a clue for you: Timbuktu is Remote Control software...you know, it lets you control one computer from another...it doesn't cure your dandruff problem. It doesn't give you smooth shave. It doesn't power through even your toughest stains. It lets you control other computers better then anything else out there. Got it?

Yet another example of why VersionTracker comments are mostly useless...so many uninformed, ignorant comments...

This guy needs to get a clue. Timbuktu was NEVER made to do stuff like remote printing.

It's REMOTE CONTROL software. Must be because this guy has never administered a server or wanted to observe another computer while trying to provide tech support.
