Elan,
Let's make sure we understand this term correctly. Here is the definition
provided at www.whatis.com:
In information technology, the term end user is used to distinguish the
person for whom a hardware or software product is designed from the
developers, installers, and servicers of the product. The "end" part of the
term probably derives from the fact that most information technologies
involve a chain of interconnected product components at the end of which is
the "user." Frequently, complex products require the involvement of
other-than-end users such as installers, administrators, and system
operators. The term end user thus distinguishes the user for which the
product is designed from other users who are making the product possible for
the end user. The term is used mostly with mainframe computer products and
seldom with personal consumer products. Often, the term user would suffice.
So, yes, to REBOL Technologies I can be considered an end user. REBOL Tech
are the developers and they have designed the software for both you and me,
so we are the end users. N'est pas?
