Robert, Sold out...sounds like poor inventory control!
I can not imagine how a company allows themselves to become "out of stock" on their premier product. I am also really not sure what significance the fact has.
If you could tell me what specific article you are refering to, and who the author and publisher is, this might serve to focus my comments. I sincerely question the sales figures. Do you happen to remember who the next companies on down the list were.
As to the question of Webtalk. I am a beta tester for Quarterdeck and evaluated their Webtalk throughout its beta phase. and recieved a free copy of the release version for my efforts. The software has many good features, but the process for using it is much too inconvenient.
As to full duplex, while doing some research on the patent issued for sending voice on packet switched networks, I found that there were experiments being done in the early 1970s sending voice through the "internet". These experiments included "full duplex" transmissions. In view of this, claims by either Quarterdeck or Camelot to have invented full duplex are ridiculous.
Camelot's claim was based upon having a driver that would allow sound blaster cards to perform in full duplex. Unfortunately for them the driver just did not work properly for the majority of people.
In fact, I believe that the first released software to allow full duplex with any sound card that supported it was the Iphone application by Vocaltec (at this time QDeck had not started beta, and Digiphone hardly worked). So that, if having a fully functional software package presented to the public as a release version is the criteria, both Quarterdeck and Camelot are definitely misrepresenting the facts.
Now Robert, after all of the discussions on this forum, all of the claims by Camelot that have been shown to be baseless in fact, does one more false claim suprise you?
I really would like the name of the article to which you refer, and the location from which it is available. I may well have read it, but I would like to verify that! |
