>> Hi Casey, welcome to the ML. I'd like to respond to some of your comments. I hope you don't mind me addressing them out-of-order.
Thanks, that is very helpful. I guess after a few years one gets to know the personalities! My definition of stability would be a platform that lets existing code update for new devices without much pain. It took us a month to go from Mac OS 9 to X, which was reasonable. PPC to Intel 2 months, but we already had byte-swapping for the Windows version. Apple could have made it easier but it was still reasonable. However, we wasted 3 years going Carbon to Cocoa and only getting 1/2 way. That was too much. Working in Objective-C really made me appreciate C++. Wanting to go back and run new code on old machines? Yeah, that is just for masochists. However, I have learned a lot about the medical device biz in the past month! Are there lists other than Develop and Interest? Splitting this one might help. One to discuss future changes civilly, one for support, one for flames and arguments... Casey McDermott TurtleSoft.com
