Re: How many of you will stay at V7R5 lower due to SDA removal ?

Yep.... Scotty is the king of ClickBait (not sure about ads.. if you don't
use adblocker that's on you haha), but I will say between him and WatchJRGo
I've learned a lot of stuff. I've actually stopped watching Scotty as
much. He knows what he's doing... hehe.. If I could spend a day with
JRGo's dad I would pay him $500 an hour.. haha.. he's a plethora of
knowledge on anything it seems.

You go ahead and stay current, but remember I'm providing solutions to
thousands of shops. Not just myself or a couple custom apps for a few
shops.

Good to know you are kind of progressive :)

I value my personal time as well, but for good or bad I'm always consuming
technology to stay current.

Not at all.

My original complaint was having to help support an apache server for my
customers. Then an open source solution was offered. I have no problem
personally with open source. But that would be a much larger can of worms
supporting thousands of customers and needing open source.

I do have open source solutions with a few customers and when it goes down
it's no fun at all. Apache I can tell them to run a simple command, look
at job logs, etc.

So don't assume I'm poo pooing open source. I value my personal time and
I am not going to start teaching and supporting thousands of customers all
over the world how to install and use open source, check if it's running,
run down issues, etc.. etc... especially when most of those customers
expect me to do all that for free. And if you are assuming even 10% of
customers wouldn't need that help, well... you'd be wrong.

It's like buying a car and then expecting the salesman to teach you how to
drive, change the oil, read and interpret CELs with an ODB2 scanner, etc.
all for free. I'm not Scotty Kilmer haha!
