			<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much for highlighting how much Bento has/is going to take away. The iOS versions are worthless to me now and FileMaker made it clear the Mac version gets crippled soon. They're really downplaying the changes in their promotion, but this is a huge change and basic ruins Bento for us that really used its full potential. Looking at the iOS reviews, you'd never get a clue as to how big the changes are. It's especially a sore spot for me since this is the third time I've been "orphaned" on a relational database: Reflex Plus, then CAT (Chang Labs incredible System 9 contact database, though I can still run it via Sheepshaver on Mountain Lion). So, when I went to Bento, I at least figured it's by an Apple subsidiary, so it will last. Nope, not so. It's a big loss!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, Apple is pretty much pushing iCloud technology as their wave of the future. As a sync solution it makes sense, but it breaks some of the solutions developers have created over the years. I don't think a lot of people used Bento to its full capability as a CRM, but those of us who did will miss it dearly.  I have faith that as iCloud settles in and stabilizes, we'll see some of the lost software features creep back in.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ultimately then, does this mean that all syncing with these various links gets pushed to the "cloud"? You have discussed the problems moving to the new version of Bento but I wonder where the longer term solution is.]]></description>
