I was introduced to MultiSim many years ago via Electronics Workbench. I had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor, so to speak, as, because I was a student (and through my professor), I was able to purchase the instructor's (not education/student!) edition of the MultiSim/Ultiboard package for a reasonable price. Since then it's been one bug after another.
Now, I'm years out of school, can afford the huge pricetag, have the lastest version via grandfathering, but I don't want it, because I don't trust it any further than I can throw it. (I swear I'd buy the professional if it worked, as expensive as it is.) I've bought the service agreement, now that National Instruments got involved, but I don't believe I'll ever get anything but the latest bug-ridden kluge.
I've had a bug under investigation for two weeks now and, yeah, maybe it'll be resolved, but, honestly, it won't matter. Why? Because I'll just turn up another one and go through this mess again. Why? Because I've been doing this for years, nearly a decade. You get what you pay for. If you want something that works, you have to pay for it, and MultiSim isn't it. I just feel for those who actually shelled out the money for this latest version that I got for pennies. But I swear I'd buy the thing if it worked. It just doesn't work.
Sorry, no time for proof read.
