Stephen, I know that it has yet to be updated. Using (links both
symbolic and hard) it can still be used. I do like it's ease of use.
That's where I fear these changes could lead us. It's not a place I
want to go.
Adrien, Where it is feasible I continue to use older OS's... That has
equipment dependency and other issues (i.e. Browser) that require
recompilation of newer software. The cost gets outlandish. That's why
Haiku is important to those clients and my businesses.
Stephen, The publishing companies uses (a port of gEdit to do final
copy edits) I hate it. The type setting is done with a auto-feed to
an old Line-O-Type led based machine (manufactured in the 1920's).
That was a pain to preserve. The pages from the Line-O-Type create
reverse photo masters which are used with offset presses. It works and
they don't want to change. The Radio stations keep BeOS for the use
and editing of (WAV) files. The need nothing other than what comes
with the OS. Haiku is slowly replacing it as the 80486's and Low speed
Pentiums fail and are replaced. There is much less training with Alpha
2 and 3 than Alpha 4, but that's no step and still make me money,
