2 versions, that would be a lot of work for Patchou, people would make the same mistake as they did with the sponsor: they click too fast, so maybe they will install the wrong version..if you don't like something in plus! you can always report it, and what KoalaBlue said

I agree with KoalaBlue. I can't see any reason to make 2 versions. The version we all have is easy to use, and there are a lot of features, but its easy to remember the ones you need.

The only possible reason I could see for making a streamlined version of Plus is to reduce the size of the setup file. Its currently just over 2Mb, so even on a 56k modem, it won't take forever to get.

As for the registry options, they are very specific and 99% of users won't need to touch them. I certainly haven't

I also agree with KoalaBlue and Jeronimo.  I don't touch the registry either.  It makes absolutlely no differnce.  As for the reason, Jeronimo and KoalaBlue has said that clearly, so I will not bother to say it again.

I remember when the sounds where like huge eggs posted on mess.be

plus wont need any advanced version (but me cant wait for the regrestry importer exporter in 2.5)   i screw with my regrestry all the time  its great to reset ur google toobar popup blocker cound its not that hard to do things once u get the hang of it (most people dont even want to try tho)

is a huge program in itself it's not made for advanced our simple users it's a program thats accessable to everyone

Wtbw is devolping Freedom to be on a more advanced scale aimed at hardcore users

And theres plently of simplistic tools out there   Just appeals to everyone

Actually, It wouldn't be reduced much either: things that use most of the space are sounds and bitmaps, and Patchou won't do a separate version without graphics --- obviously . Btw, i guess 2.5 will have some kbs more because it has plenty of new graphics.

yep, GFD's right.. in the current version, there's 900KB of bitmaps and 660KB of sounds already

dewd! 2001! Well I probably would of installed MSN Messenger Plus! Extension if I knew what I do now about computers, but back I didn't ever have a computer, and when I did get a computer I didnt get the internet until half way through 2002!

But now I'm here, and glad too!
