3. POLL: PageNOW! Server for OS X?

We have been considering an OS X version of PageNOW! for some time.

It isn't an easy decision, as the transition from OS 9 to OS X is a far more radical one for software developers than was the transition from 68K to PowerPC a number of years back.

The 68K to PowerPC transition mostly required minor editing and a recompile.

For applications (such as PageNOW!) that do any sort of serial communications (ie, talk to serial port or modem), entire sections of the product must be entirely re-written.

We have analyzed the cost and effort it will take to produce an OS X version, and now ask you, our customers, to indicate how much of a demand there is for a fully OS X native version of PageNOW!

Please indicate your interest by completing the survey

If we feel that the development costs can be recovered in a fair amount of time, we will green-light the project.
