I am, and use VirginMedia. There uptime in my area has been pretty good - considering what I am used to in South Africa. I've only had two outages in a year. In the first case it was for a morning, and the last one was for an hour. > Leaving aside the performance issues, I think that the one area in which > online docs are pretty much indispensable is that in principle they > allow user annotation. Uh? I can't annotate any online docs... Also if they did give me access, why would somebody else want my personal notes? I add annotations to RTL to explain things better (for myself), list pitfals or gotchas, add extra code examples etc. Probably things other developers wouldn't find useful at all, so I wouldn't want those in a public site. > Lazarus doesn't use it so this isn't the place to discuss > it. I don't care what Lazarus (as a project) does, but DocView integration with Lazarus IDE, or any other IDE is very simple to accomplish. There is even a link to DocView integration documentation included with Lazarus as standard (Help -> Online Help, read the 'Offline Help' section). You may not find DocView useful, but many other developers do, especially considering how bad the wiki help (searching) is, or the terrible functionality of LHelp. Anyway, this thread is straying now...
