What makes it all worth it...
I just got the following e-mail.
It is your program that has me in Linux on my main computer, and it is
you I want to thank. I was a die hard never give up Windows (my family
works for Microsoft so I have to be loyal, even if it has to crash every
ten minutes) kind of girl.
My husband is... the developer of multiple open
source Linux software. For years he has tried to get me on Linux and I
refused. Then after one huge melt down of windows, I was on the verge
of tears and in a split second I said install Linux, and he had it
installed.
I was planning on just reinstalling windows and all my software the
next day but then your gourmet recipe program caught my eye. I started
messing around with it, pulling on every whistle and bell. Almost every
time I thought it should have this feature or that feature I would find
it already programmed in.
I just wanted to say thanks, if it hadn't been your program I would
be right now pulling out my hair with another crash. It was your program
that convinced me to give Linux a try.
I doubt you wanted to hear the ramblings of a converted Microsoft
fan, but thank you so much for making such a useful and intuitive
program. Your program is the best recipe program I have ever used in my
years of collecting recipes in my computer. It even allowed me to
transfer all the recipes easily from Windows programs.

Well that definitely felt good to read. Makes all that silly work I put into Gourmet feel that much more worth it.
