By the way, it not only swaps out graphics files. It shows the original image of any face up card clicked on at a table in another window while you’re playin (so you can see the original size and uncropped image). You can make one deck for one room, then copy that deck to any other rooms with just a click of the mouse. It has a built-in screen capture feature so you can grab those cool scuba images from your web site, or maybe at http://www.skins.be

I don’t think most people could make the cards with a paint program, swap the graphics files (or even know where they go), and pull up the original images easily without one program that does it all.

I invite your readers to try the fully functioning demo and decide if they think it’s worth $14.95 or not.

Were you in bad mood when you wrote ‘What a rip-off’ ?

Thanks again for the link,

Very entertaining.

All I’m saying is that you smelled a little action going on in this online poker sector and you threw together a bunch of Win API calls and piggy-backed on a few existing technologies trying to make a quick buck. As someone who was worked in software engineering for over 10 years I think the whole thing is comical. I’m not in a bad mood. I’m just amazed at what people call “commercial” software.

Print-Screen captures the entire screen, not the area you desire. Copy/paste would not copy original image associations to the other rooms’ folders.

What’s wrong with trying to make a buck? Isn’t that what you’re trying to do with the top-left section of this blog site (affiliate links)?

Best of luck,

Absolutely, positively, nothing. However, I’m one of those folks who happens to believe that the moment you charge for something your accountability goes way up. I think the thing you fail to grasp is that if you had offered this out there as open source, my review (if I would have even bothered) would have been more along the lines of “it’s a goofy little tool for people who have way too much time on their hands.” Instead, you’re charging for it which introduces a value proposition to the equation. I think $14.95 is a rip off. I’ve said as much right here. I’ve weighed the stated utility of the product vs. what my perception of the software’s value and, IMHO, $14.95 compensates you far in excess of the value one would receive from purchasing it. Thus, I think it’s a rip off.

Or let me put it into concrete terms for you; Turbo Texas Hold ‘Em is a good but marginal deal at $80 (come on, upgrade that damn interface, will ya). If the price was $800, it would be a total rip off.

I assume when “Daddy” writes of neing “Sick and Tired” he’s refering to his debilitating mental illness.

If he wants to fight, I say, “let’s go”

I’ll see your stupid card face adjustment and raise you a “Biootch”!
