Sad to see you guys in the same basic position I've been sitting in for a while - with a parent company that doesn't really want to sell my Qt-based products for political reasons, not technical reasons. (The Qt-based product is far superior technically to the product they want to replace it with.) So I know the anxiety it's causing. Regardless, I'm sticking with Qt regardless of my present employer, and am starting to plan Qt-based projects on the side as well. Here's hoping I can eventually fund some work on it too. Any how, hope it clears up for you all soon. Ben _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
