Title: Name change for Mach 4
Post by: ynneb on May 18, 2006, 01:23:06 AM

I have seen many questions about Mach 4 appear in all of the forums. One of the reoccuring questions is about the upgrade price.
I think people are thinking that Mach3 is the redundant software, soon to be replaced by mach 4 ( Which is logical reasoning)
For this reason I think Mach 4 should take on a new name. This should put peoples minds to rest that Mach3 is not redundant and is an ongoing development.

If a name change is favorable to Art, what names would you guys suggest ?

I never new that. But people will still call it Mach 4

I recon since the word "mach" denotes speed, and machIV is a quantum leap in speed, it should be called "Quantum"

Dumb question, but why not have a single version of mach4 with two different license's, standard as we know mach3 today and 'pro' that add's the Industrial Version features such as grex.
