At least they don't post much anymore.
Well that's a shame, because they used to. Of course there are a
couple of reasons for this:
1) Advent of the forums, where they can moderate or remove
unfavourable stuff
2) The arrival of new users from different platforms
Is there a link? Some of the old hands would probably say yes.
My stars, I've even seen vicious personal attacks in the NUG. Prior
to last
summer, that was unheard of on this list. As least as far as my feeble
memory allows.
Yes, that is very bad, and as far as I see, it's from relative
newcomers. But I make a note of them, and vow never to buy their
software.
Ah, the Good Old Days.
Indeed. For various reasons I've been out of the Rb loop for 3 years,
and this is definitely a changed place, as is RS.
A lot has changed, but it really is unclear whether 200x really works
properly or not, and with no RS feedback, that doesn't make things
easier.
Now we have the UB problem, again with little info, and it seems
there's probably no point in coding for OS X with Rb at the moment if
Apple are getting heavy (and so is most of the rest of the media), so
that's one upgrade licence lost.
Since XP is now running on Macs, perhaps I should look at just coding
for that...
