+ +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! -
