But just because we have been quiet for a while doesn't mean there hasn't been a lot going on behind the scenes. In fact, we have a lot of news for you! First of all, due to legal and marketing reasons our company will be changing its name from "Phoenix Software" to "Exponential Development." However the name of our first product, the Think Tool Pro desktop database and information manager (for OS/2), will remain the same. Second, we have developed an entirely new web site to reflect our new name. You can go to our new web site here: http://www.exponentialdevelopment.com Our current web site, http://www.phxsoft.com will remain active for some time, but we will eventually be phasing out that domain in favor of the new one. So please update those bookmarks! Finally, most of you are probably wondering what is going on with the Think Tool Pro beta and final product. Well, the code (software) for the final beta of the Think Tool Pro is complete. Currently we are just finishing up the new version of the documentation for it. As soon as we are done with that, we will be making the final beta available for download from our web site here: http://www.exponentialdevelopment.com/download.html The final beta is very close to the finished version, so we do not expect it to take too long before we release the completed final version. We know you are all very anxious to try the Think Tool Pro as soon as possible. So to meet that demand, and due to time constraints, we will not be sending out any more beta CDs. Our expectation is that most people will prefer to download the beta from our web site anyway. If you REALLY want a CD, and downloading the beta is a great burden to you, then let us know, and we will consider making a CD available. Our preference at this time is to not do things that way, because it will take a lot of our time, and will slow the process down - thus delaying how quickly you can test the Think Tool Pro. **We will make an announcement as soon as we make the Think Tool Pro final beta available for download.** For more information on the final beta of the Think Tool Pro, please see our beta information page located here: http://www.exponentialdevelopment.com/beta.html For more general information on the Think Tool Pro go here: http://www.exponentialdevelopment.com/ttpis.html Q: Are you still working on the Think Tool Pro for OS/2? A: Yes! We will be launching the Think Tool Pro for OS/2 very soon, and we plan to continue support for our OS/2 product for quite some time. Q: Why are you changing your company name? A: Several reasons. For one thing, we were politely told by another "Phoenix Software" that they would appreciate it if we would change our name to avoid confusion. In an effort to prevent legal action, we made this change. In addition, this change also benefits us from a marketing perspective for the very same reason: It helps our customers avoid confusion with other companies of the same or similar name(s). There are several "Phoenix Software" companies, but there is only ONE Exponential Development. :-) Furthermore, we think that our new name is a better reflection of our company and its future direction.
