I've been playing around with this product the last few days and I'm considering buying it, but I've got a few concerns. I'd like to hear from people that have used this product. I've noticed that the forum for it as far as community, support and help, doesn't seem to active. Seems like a lot of posts for help seem to go unanswered. Also I've noticed some bugs in the product in just the short time that I've used it. Nothing major, but irritating things. Is this a good product? Are people getting their monies worth? How hard is it to figure out? ( Documentation seems iffy too) What are your opinions?

Awesome product IMHO.

Its a great product but i have tried it out twice now and couldnt figure the darn thing out so i gave up, again!

Hmmmm, if you couldn't figure it out - how in the world can it be a great product

I shouldn't really have to answer to sarcasm as it is the lowest form of wit but as there was a question in there i will...

Firstly, I know someone who is making great use of it, Mick from Cheddleton here in the UK, You can see the product working by clicking the 4 big buttons under the title!

Secondly, as stated in my post above i have played with it twice, even though i couldn't figure it out i could still get to grips with certain parts thus knowing how much can be achieved from it.

"Physics is fantastic, but i dont understand it!"
"PHP is a great way to enhance your website but again i aint got a clue how to code"

I could go on and on with examples, you dont need to understand something to know its good

Please don't doubt my sincerity...

Here's a nice program that's pretty straight forward. metwisenet.

Thanks for your comments!  I still don't know if I'm going to get it or not but Bashy's website shows me that it's really being used. Still concerned about 2 year old documentation that doesn't seem to match the product though.

I have been "using" DA in it's crudest sense for about 2.5 years now, to produce various charts on a hourly basis....I was fortunate indeed, that another user was familiar with the prog and wrote some scripts for me to use....It has been running in an automatic mode ever since using the scripts and I'm very happy with the product as I have it.  You can see a couple of the charts that I upload to my website on the home page here.  You can see other charts in use here that were produced by DA.

Thank you Baggins. I find it interesting that all the examples fir DA that I've seen so far are from the UK. Will I be the first US person to use it?

I have been playing with it for a few weeks and I am coming to the end of the trial period and I am very impressed.  (I Will buy it next payday!)
The tutorial in the user manual was my starting point and then I just played with it to produce numerous charts for my local area.   The program really becomes powerful when you start playing with the scripting....
I did sign up for the support forum, but never got a confirmation email back, so I can't post on there.  

Here are the charts that I produce on an hourly basis for my region in Australia.  http://www.bellmereweather.net/charts.asp
My personal opinion is that they are better than the "official" charts that are produced and much more fun!!
