Albert: Think of all the excellent products and user communities which have disappeared over the past thirty years (Victor 9000, MultiMate, STSC APL anyone?). To find R:Base alive and well as one of the highest-integrity product/user-communities in three decades is ... something. Find the word. Something else. Kudos, Razzak and crew!
I recall our first application in ... 1985? Took the US Steel detailer's book, ginned up a parameter description of steel shapes and take-outs; feeding them into a floppy-based NASA-developed public domain 3-D program to produce multi-story structures, rotatable in real-time on 8088 XTs (no 8087 co-processor required). Why I dropped it, I cannot justify. Maybe it was a girl, or tequila; my grey hairs shrug their collective shoulders and swear they can't remember. Uh-Huh. Probably the tequila. I could just kick myself.
