Just to second Alice Givan's post about the recent
slam on BDIS CellQuest that ended with "...truth is marching in":
Obviously, the truth was marching somewhere else. CellQuest, as
used in our facility by over 60 immunologists, their postdocs,
technicians, etc., is a robust application and performs well for
both aquisition and analysis. There are other applications that
do the same standard operations this fellow wanted to do, just as
CellQuest does. I suspect nobody at BDIS will get tears in their
eyes if this fellow uses another applcation. However, it is very
unfair for someone to wrongly slam any good software application
on a public forum. People new in the field may believe it to be
true. I'm sure most veterans just chuckled over their coffee.
