I have agree with Chris on this.
I had two questions posted recently strictly dealing with Euphoria that have
gone
un-answered thus far because I believe they got lost in discussions about Linux
vs. Microsoft.
I had a question about Linux but it had to do obtaining the software, Not if it
was better or worse
than Windows. I figure I ‘ll figure that out for myself once I get Linux up and
running, Maybe I will
like them both perhaps Linux for one task and Microsoft for another. Judge Bork
, during his conformation hearings, when asked his position on the IE - Netscape
controversy said "There’s enough room on modern drives for both. What’s the
problem?"
One my questions was about not being able to bind Edita and other I forgot .
It’s been so long and I got so distracted with a lot of other drivel on this
board. I don’t care that much if my question gets answered or not. I’ll figure
it out myself eventually. But I am just plain lazy and would rather read the
answer quickly.
However , I would like read, on this forum ,the answers to SOMBODY’S questions
or tricks that others
use to get around this or that in Euphoria. I like to see examples of code in
posts. There’s not much of that anymore.
And to those who like to write these lengthy posts explaining why they are
leaving Euphoria for a better
language I say, "Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."
