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!
