That's nice direct and to the point... but what exactly is the point except justifying your own jobs as fellows or whatever you call that at AT&T Research? I've used uwin for fun and to play around but in business nobody uses it. Nobody.
I'll offer my help to do specific coding things and stuff, but to what end? But you're the AT&T bright boys. As others have said, you seem to be coding around problems instead of solving them in the first place and others already have with VMs. On another note, what exactly is a fellow? > Send uwin-users mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/uwin-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of uwin-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
