If something isn't working for you, I want to know! In fact, unlike
some developers who don't want to be deluged with bugs, I heartily encourage
users to send me all their problems. Why? I love bugs,
and I have experience working in Quality Assurance, so I know that a
program like gbootroot is loaded with glitches unforeseen
by the developer. I consider
anything a bug which effects the user negatively,
whether it is a user interface (UI) which is hard to understand
or use, documentation which seems misleading, or if the program doesn't
seem to deliver results as it should. Even if you think
your problem may be due to your own lack of understanding, I still
recommend that you contact me after reasonable attempts, because what
you may be experiencing is what "MANY" may be experiencing. At the
bottom of this page is the contact information. Your problem
will help gbootroot become a better program for all!
