I wanted to give this old thread a bump.
I recently bought one of the old Fletcher 6100's, complete with all the most recent software updates. The machine itself is GREAT. It's built like an elegant cross between a Sherman Tank and a Swiss watch. The software, on the other hand....sucks!
I know I'm spoiled. I'm a Photoshop expert, and I'm used to working with the latest, greatest, most sophisticated graphics software in the world.
I'm sure the Fletcher was the cat's meow when it was new, but I have to say I'm just appalled at how awful the software for it is. I'm sure that when it was first built it was incredibly groundbreaking, but that was almost 10 years ago (practically the dark ages when it comes to computers)
It's SO clunky. It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to create anything more than the most simple designs.
Have no third party vendors endeavored to write software to drive it? Why not?
Anyone know how many 6100's there are, floating around out there? How much of a market is there for an updated version of the software?
