| | Posted: | | | | This is so typical. First someone liked to know which was the first version of the program and the next thing people start to brag about who registered first. Let me tell you, it's not important how long you've been around, but what you have done to improve the program and its database, and to help other users. You're not helping anyone if you only care about yourself and you take your head out of the sand once and a while. BTW, I'm not accusing the users who posted above of these things, but it all does look a little egocentric in my point of view. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

Sometimes egocentrism is defined as a lack of interest in others. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | I know I tried the free version when it was at version 0.9.something but it was only a couple of years later that I paid for the program and started using it, if I remember things correctly. In the beginning I kept all my DVD purchases in an Excel file (that I just happened to find again!) and my last entry in it is from 2001 so maybe that's when I started using Profiler regurlarly... | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

Yes, I saw that question and I don't see the point of knowing the answer. Anyway have fun and let the "best" man win... It was not the answer of whom was the first only the curiosity of the versions and the fact if the people had it still, and as I sayed it was cool to see mine again (for me), and I would like to see others registartions from even erlier date. So sorry if I have offended you by asking somthing more than I did in the OP. On the other side I can't see the meening of posting in a topic that have no interest for you. | | | | We are all at the same age, only at different time... |

The oldest version I have an install for is 0.1.2, created January 18, 1997. It even had a splash screen!
 Wow, this actually pre-dates the availability of DVD's in the U.S. (March 1997) |

Yes, I was only being sarcastic. You know sarcasm is very much frowned upon on this forum, don't you? |

You know sarcasm is very much frowned upon on this forum, don't you? Yes, and although I said I was not accusing anyone here and it only looked like egocentric behavior, people still felt insulted. The message I wanted to sent was that we all should care a little more for each other instead of our own. I don't understand what's so bad about that. If you didn't have noticed my new tagline is "The Love Guru" which means I want to create a caring bond.  | | | Martin Zuidervliet
