TEAM v. Quixtar

So after my spiel earlier, I know that everyone is either with TEAM, split, or with Quixtar. That's fine, but let me ask one question. Do you think that Alticor (Quixtar's parent company) handled the situation very well with media blog on their site? I mean are they professionals in how they write to their customers? I have done business for several years, and I would never reply to a customer(s) like that. TEAM is composed of about 700,000 people. To "tell off" that many people...is well, just stupid. I can't think of a better reason not to be in business with a group of people that don't know how to respect their distributors/clients/IBOs.

So what am I to do? Goodbye Quixtar/Alticor and manufactures associated with Quixtar. I am appalled by their behavior and I can't imagine myself doing business with these type of people. It's on thing to write professionally about the issue and a completely different thing to say what they did about hundred of thousands of IBOs.

I have one last thing: Nothing will stop my dreaming! I will go where I want to go in life because I can, not because I need Quixtar's/Alticor's/Amway's help.

All in all, I think their blog shows just how scared Quixtar is, TEAM is huge, they says that we have no creditability.
So what suddenly prompted XS to put out a press release, hmm intresting. Did Quixtar believe that we would be taking XS with us? Sound like a bully is amiss somewhere...
Yes XS sales are up, but I bet a majority of the sales was through TEAM....can't imagine how the sales & statistics are going to drop now...

Programs Programs Programs...

So recently I have been doing a lot of research on different programs, here are the categories:

• Personal Finance Management
• Photo Tools
• Panorama Stitching (QTVR)
  
• Photo Organization

So I have been downloading quite a few freeware programs and a couple of trials of each. Here is what I have found so far:

For Personal Financing:

• Personal Finances Lite v1.62 - freeware - this is limited compared to their other full version program which is $30, you can download a 30-day trial from the site here. As for the freeware, you can download it here.
• Some other setups I have installed yet.

For Photo Tools:

• Photo Toolkit - freeware - it is a plug-in for windows image viewer - what I like about this is it's great for the casual image editor, like removing red-eye, or (my favorite) Batch processing. Download it here.
• My Pictures 3D - freeware - From their site "3D world featuring your photographic masterpieces!" pretty cool program. Allows you to create virtual worlds (includes themes exe. castles, museum, towers) and allows you to "hang" your pictures on the walls of the virtual world. You can have as your screensaver as well. Both the album maker and the screensaver + themes can be downloaded here.
  

In my next blog I'll talk about:

• Panorama Stitching (QTVR)
  
  
• Photo Organization
