Thank you. Once again, VersionTracker comes through. They're the best. Which reminds me: they accept entries for components, so if any of you have Rev plug-ins you want to make sure are widely used, in addition to RevNet you'll also want to add them to VersionTracker. I'll be making entries for GoRevNet and others once I wrap up a few client projects. >> It just feels dirty, after paying $450 to get a working version of >> OS X (10.0 and 10.1 were arguably of beta quality). $5 billion in >> cash reserves and no price break for loyal customers.... > > Boo hoo, you are out the cost of 1 Windows XP Pro license, over a > period of 4 years? Who needs Pro? Unless you're bulding something that integrates with features specific to the Pro edition, for Rev testing Home works great. Besides, in the non-Apple world $500 buys a whole computer, OS and all. If you're interested in Linux development it gets even better: you can pick up a computer with Lindows pre-installed at WalMart for under $200. <http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2293918&cat=86796&typ e=19&dept=3944&path=0%3A3944%3A3951%3A41937%3A86796> Lindows has a consumer focus that is giving it an edge over more techie distros. Worth looking for you Rev folks interested in exploring the Linux market. We've finally gotten to a world in which computers are less expensive than the desk to put them on. :) > Or the cost of 1 Red Hat Linux Enterprise License? If you use newsgroups for support it has the ideal price: free. Just download and go. As a consumer I'm generally happy with Apple overall. As a developer, however, their focus on maintaining high margins over marketshare (2.2%; was 2.4 two years ago and 5% in '96) is a serious issue. Coupled with their concerted effort to migrate ever more software development in-house at the expense of third parties, they risk further maginalization until they get serious about pricing. Fortunately, the collective wisdom of the BoD seems strong enough to balance out Jobs' famous "reality distortion field": I predict a strong competitive consumer thrust by mid-'04. And while I have my Cracker Jack crystal ball open, I predict an Intel-comptible architecture by 2010, with a focus on software just like the industry's largest company, Microsoft. It is technically feasible to deliver the benefits of the Mac experience on Intel hardware, and ultimately cheaper and more profitable to do than maintaining R&D for single-source chips. Hardware focus is driven by personality factors, not technological constraints; it will pass. Things are gonna get weird as Linux gets usable. Expect radical change in the coming years. Thankfully, with Rev we can ride the wave no matter which way the currents shift. Rev has liberated us beyond whatever changes may affect any single OS vendor. It is its own meta-OS, the most capable of virtual machines.... -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
