From Robin Casady |

It is sad to see Casady & Greene, Inc. go. I founded Casady Company in 1984 to publish fonts for the new Macintosh. The name changed with incorporation to CasadyWare, Inc. Around this time I met Mike Greene who was looking for a software project to do after SpellsWell. I talked him into doing a program that became QuickDEX. Later CasadyWare, Inc. merged with Greene, Inc. and became Casady & Greene, Inc. Over the years, my role in management reduced as my interests in other areas developed. In the last ten years I have had no official management duties at C&G. About a year ago I removed myself from the Board of Directors. I have very much enjoyed working closely with Mike Wright on the design and development of InfoGenie and iData Pro. Mike has asked me to join him in developing and publishing iData Pro. We are planning to start a company that will probably be called iData Partners. We have some exciting plans for future versions of iData Pro for OS X. We are looking for someone to work with us on the Windows version. If we are able to find someone to enhance and maintain iData Pro for Windows the first goal will be to make datafile exchange between platforms simple and easy. We will not be supporting the Palm version of iData Remote, but Tom Hoelscher has expressed an interest in maintaining and publishing it. |

Official Casady & Greene, Inc. Closing Statement |
|
"Goodnight Everybody!" is the farewell cry we have heard every night since Charles has been at C&G - He has usually been the first one here in the morning and as he left each night around five he would bellow out his goodbye for all to hear. We will hear that cry for the last time when we close our doors on July 3rd. It is with profound regret that we inform you that Casady & Greene will close its doors on July 3rd, 2003, after nineteen years in the Software Publishing business. We have endured many industry downturns, but the last three years have presented a series of economic disasters from which we were unable to rebound. Please know that we are deeply grateful for your patronage and have been honored to serve you and please accept our very sincere apologies for any difficulties or inconveniences caused you by our closure. The individual authors of our products have provided us with a list of contact points for customer support and product purchase. Those contact points are listed below and we encourage you to explore the web sites of all the authors whose products we were privileged to publish and seek support as needed from the talented individuals who wrote your software. Again, we extend to you our heartfelt apologies as well as our enduring gratitude. None of us wants to hear his final Goodnight - all of us wish we had found the magic answer that would have kept us at least afloat and preferably brought us back to full sail. It has been a great run, and while we all wish it weren't over, the struggle to stay afloat in the last few years has taken it's toll. It's time to close the doors and... we couldn't go without saying goodbye.. You are the reason we have been here working without pay for the last year, You are wonderful. You, our customers, have been a great community to serve... thank you. Very Sincerely, |
