Re: win32 and win98
Good grief... the NT/2K/XP line has always been superior to the 9x/ME
line for many reasons (and also a good reason for discontinuing the
latter). However, this is not the proper forum to discuss such things.
Yes. However, this is the proper forum, last time I knew, to discuss
Euphoria libraries such as win32lib.ew, and which platforms it runs and does
not run on. This entire thread began because folks were trying to figure
out where this resource problem occurs. It occurs with Windows 98 and ME,
probably not with 95, and so far not with XP. Using a little bit of
deductive reasoning, we then need to ask the question, "What are the
differences between XP and ME which could account for the system resource
problems?" The answer to that question will help Derek in his search for
the problem.
I have as much a right to state my opinions of Windows ME as you have to
state your opinions about my stating my opinions, and your opinions about
Irv's opionion of my opinion. That is, of course, just my opinion.
Anyway... how many different distributions of linux are there now? How
many compatibility problems exist with different core components of
different distributions of linux (can you even mix and match)? How many
desktop environments exist for different distributions of linux? How
many different shells? What is the best combination and overall
hardware compatiblity of an OS with so many flavors and possible
combinations? If I buy new hardware, do I need to compile my own driver
or do I just go to linuxupdate.com?
Ahem. I don't recall mentioning that I was a die-hard Linux fan. Linux has
just as many problems as Windows: the only difference is that it is another
set of problems. That is why I spent $100 to buy XP. Finding supported
hardware is a pain. Installing new applications can be hell. Ten thousand
different components written by 100,000 people can be a nightmare. None of
this is in dispute. But yes, *that* particular thread is off-topic, because
I'm pretty sure everyone here is convinced that win32lib.ew doesn't run very
well in Linux (with the exception of using Wine, perhaps).
Oh wait, this isn't the place for that kind of discussion either.
Please, let it rest... I really don't care.

Well ... whatever flicks your Bic. I'm not actually too terribly interested
in extolling the virtues of Base-12 -- that's rather old hat for me since
I've known how to do that for a couple dozen years now. But there is
apparently some interest in it, or the thread would not have lasted as long
as it has. I don't think myself high and mighty enough in this community to
dictate to you, Irv, Pete, Derek, Robert, and kat what they can and cannot
discuss. If you aren't interested in this thread, filter it out. If you
don't want to hear from me, filter me out -- hell, I won't known any
different if you do.
I'm sorry, but I've gotten my fill of people crying "off-topic," when it's
none of their damn business whether it is off topic or not, especially
considering that more often than not, the discussion *is* on topic. If
Robert Craig, the owner of this list, feels that a topic is too far off, I'm
sure that he can put an end to it quite easily. That is a decision for him
to make, not us.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I see it (my opinion only here), this
community is not a group of professional programmers trading algorithms with
each other while re-taping the bridge of their glasses. This group is about
a diverse community of amateurs and professionals divining out the
advancement of the Euphoria language, and plotting its course, nudging Mr.
Craig and RDS a little to the left, or a little to the right, as the
community dictates. Discussions of base-12, present and possible future
platforms for Euphoria, AI, gots, etc., are the paper upon which we chart
that course. It's not just you either ... there are a couple of other
people grating my nerves where that is concerned.
Now, as you so aptly stated, let it rest ... we really don't care.
