I couldn't find the proper words, sorry. I just meant that I've sometimes read people say, "My compiler doesn't work or there's an OS bug", and others actually recommend (!) they switch entirely, just for one tiny flaw. That's not reasonable nor realistic, and even worse, software limitations should never require changes in hardware, IMO. My OS takes too much RAM -- buy more RAM. My apps are too slow -- buy a faster cpu. xyz Windows compiler doesn't work -- switch to Linux. You know, the lame solutions that don't solve anything and are almost more trouble than they solve. >>> Peter is stepping down as the project maintainer.

So it's not that old news. :-P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
