Subject: End of Downloaded Version As someone who has been playing both BBO versions but who prefers the old download version, I would like to plead for its continued survival. 1. It is much more user friendly and easier to use. 2. We don’t care if it never gets updated with further bells and whistles like the internet version. You can leave it alone like you have been doing and all will be well. Please reconsider and let us download players be happy and continue to play on BBO as we have for many years. To me, here is how you can make the new internet version more user friendly like the download version: 1. Get more sound effects going to indicate when someone has made a chat comment, and a louder bell to indicate when it is your turn to play. 2. Eliminate the need to put the cursor on the chat line before typing a comment. Have the comment automatically go to chat after typing the comment and hitting return. 3. In History, show the results of the hand just played with all the other hands played on one screen. Eliminate the need to go to “Other Tables” to see the other results. 4. Show the details of a player by just putting the cursor over the players name. Eliminate the need to actually click on the name to get the details. 5. Make the “bidding box” icons of the card suits much larger. They are way too small. 6. Make the cards themselves look more like a regular deck of cards instead of just a bare representation of them. Again, make the above improvements and also let us keep using the download version. Best of both worlds. Rick Rosenbaum rickmbe
