Massimo.... thanks for developing a nifty and practical application!
With a couple of tweeks MyBonsai could be a really great and useful
application I've used it for a few days now and think it is pretty cool.
Happy to register for free......yes all it takes is a little email message
and it's free (scary to some people I know)
But overall a great idea!!

Only problem is it seems even after I install the English language dat file,
some parts of MyBonsai are still in Italian. For example: the STYLE and
PROPAGATION dropdown menus are in Italian and Japanese wording. Any
possibilty of a fix in the future? (and yes I know the Japanese wording is
essential)
Anyway looking forward to version 1.2 !

FOR THE MISTRUSTING.........
Regarding certain people's intial reaction to the original posting :::
Seems some people are too busy being paranoid and 'net authorative' and have
forgotten basic manners and courtesy. I'm appalled by this group's reaction
to someone trying to do something positive for online bonsai enthusiasts. I
can see the headlines now: - 'Online Bonsai Enthusiasts targeted by the
international hacker elite for being 'mean' to plants by way of
rootpruning ...now for the weather" - Gees, we're just sitting ducks aren't
we? Get a grip.

FOR THE LAZY...
I personally think it's *great* that someone offers sound net security
advice ( I do it at work all the time), but it should be done in such a way
that doesn't UNFAIRLY undermine someones work.
And yes, if you're too lazy and ignorant to update your viruscanner
definitions and don't run even a basic up-to-date firewall in this day and
age - then suffer the consequences, don't hijack someone's efforts to do
something constructive and useful with your neurosis and paranoia......

FOR THE NEUROTIC (or just plain bored like me)......
Scanned by Norton Antivirus (definitions 11/11/04) -
No Virus Threat Detected

Zonealarm and Sygate reports-
No trojan like activity, no asking to 'phone home', no opening of ports,
no browser hi-jacking, no adware, nor any attempted outgoing TCP
or UDP connections....are we dead yet?

Lovely, I'm sold !

Massimo you have a TOO big EGO calm down :-)

try to understand actually with all the problem of viruses and
trojan horses everybidy is a little bit scared before dowloading

Actually "everybody" shouldn't be.

Only those who are so dumb they don't keep their virus and spyware
programs up to date



Virus definitions and suchlike are always 'out of date'. Computer
security companies don't issue updates until after they have
discovered a vulnerability. How could they?
