Ditto for me on the Vital Images gripes!!

So you have the newest version of VoxelView (2.5)?
Did you use VoxelMath extensively in the previous versions?
I have avoided upgrading because:

(1)  I use VoxelMath for most of my analysis and they claimed
to have combined "the best features" of VoxelMath with the
new version of VoxelView.  Being that I don't know how the
"best features" were determined, I figured I'd leave it alone.

(2)  VoxelMath runs with VV 2.2 ONLY; therefore, we would have
to have both VV 2.2 and VV 2.5 on our system

(3)  (less of a problem) we would have to upgrade our RAM to
96 Mbytes minimum to run VV 2.5

Do you (Yiing Lin) have an opinion on the image analysis functions
of VV2.5 (as opposed to the display functions)?

I am VERY unhappy (can I say pi**ed off on-line?) with the way
Vital Images has basically discontinued support for its research
customers.  Although the package is relatively tight (a little buggy,
but usable), the lack of upgrades OR EVEN TELEPHONE/EMAIL SUPPORT
for VoxelMath users I find inexcusable considering the price tag.

Having my say,
Tracy
