Question

The malicious bug hits again !

I had a tread dedicated to the "malicious bug". The thread has been zapped by unknown, if not by myself then by PTC. This thread explained for the XXXX times the "malicious bug" c/w the diagram, it does upset PTC : fine ! Since my flaming report and the removal of same report, the bug is still there and worse ... I had no problem opening and working on the Newton [today] because it had transited. The LL "RowEchelon Example_Handwork.mcd" has been saved 11 but didn't transit, therefore does not open . I was specifically recomforted to the effect that PTC is working hard to make sure that 14, 15 would be made available saved as lower versions, but today it does not at this very moment. So, I was told a lie ... my proof has been destroyed, but the bug not removed.

I suspect The Illuminati are behind it.

The source is really "the illuminati" who declared in this forum that PTC had interest in their versions only, tolerating exchanges from MathcadMathsoft versions. So many viewers might not have agreed and reported their dissatisfaction so that few days after there was another declaration that PTC was "working hard" to compatibilise PTC versions. My interpretation being that the malicious bug would be removed so that 14 saved 11 would neither crash the 11 collabs or more naturally open in 11. You don't have that bug because you spent $ with PTC, but that's no reason you get involved with what you know nothing about it unless you are sold to PTC. It could be related to the "Mathcad facebook". Remember when Dan got surprised about PTC communities OFF every day at night, I replied OFF 21:00 ... 24:00 . Have you noticed any come back, any action ... nothing. That the "Mathcad facebook" sucks the memory as soon as opened, nothing was done, not even acknowledged. Only in Mathcad, I rarely get "your computer is low in virtual memory" ... if I open first PTC communities and no Mathcad, I get that message even before any visit to the communities, what's that joke ! I complained the spell check was very poor, PTC made it worse : no more proposal for words !

Whatever, it's damn insulting for the collab posting *.mcd today, probably expecting 11 to open but it didn't and he does no know it does not open 11 and as much insulting for myself having spent lot of time help this collab and double insulting that "malicious bug" not being addressed , I would say that PTC is enjoying the fact that their "malicious bug" is effective !

If PTC has spent $ to "compatibilise", at least today they are confirmed the $ went down the drain.

What's an enterprise that has no QA ?

Jean,

We don't spend our time devising malicious bugs for users. If you have a problem with reading files from this forum, that no one else has reported, then you need to check your software and your system.

We provide this community for users to talk to each other in a courteous manner. I'd appreciate it if you did the same to us.

Sincerely,

Mona
