  Ron,

  I don't check this group regularly, so I am late here.
  I hope you still get to read this somehow.
  So far I have been dealing with more than half a dozen
  C++ compiler/library vendors, MW being among them since
  CW5. I have run into many bugs with all those compilers
  and got to know so many bug report systems and support
  persons, I don't even want to try to count them. To say
  you stood out from the crowd would be an understatement.
  Up to that day, I have yet to find a vendor (be that a
  3-person or a multi-million Dollar company or an open-
  source community) which is even just half as responsive
  as you were. There were times when we debated whether
  you actually are a real person. IMO Jim said it best:
  "Ron single-handedly humanized a corporation to the
  mass of its customers." I envy the guys who will be
  able to make use of your skills.

  Good luck to you!
