Hello all,

One of the highlights of the user group meetings in recent years  has been the Pet Peeves session. This is the time when we, the users,  have a chance to inform our friends at Accelrys about our “Pet Peeves”, i.e.  “those little things that crop up from time to time that we wish would work  differently, but usually not in a way that causes a cry to the  support-line."

We will be holding another Pet Peeves session at the UGM in  Boston, MA, on May 8-9. I have been asked to host the session, and this means  that I need you to assist me by letting me know what bothers you.

Could you please send me an email (or several emails) by  Friday May 4 at pet-peeves-pp@accelrys.com with your answers to any of the  following questions:

       ·         Can you believe that they changed  ______!

       ·         Who would ever want ___________ to behave like  __________!

       ·         Why didn't they listen to me when I asked for  _____________?

       ·         Did you know that ___________ still doesn't  work properly?

       ·         Or more generally, why does  _____________________?

       ·         Why are the defaults for __________ different  from ________?

and not to be all negative:

       ·         Wow! ___________ is great!

I look forward to hearing from all of you. Screenshots,  examples, etc. would really help me and Accelrys!

Thanks in advance!

Jennifer Heymont, Pet Peeves Chair 2012 UGM
