But this is precisely the point. Move onto _where_? RISC OS has no focus, little development, and severe lack of coordination. The Firefox issue is just one facet of this. No one is willing to do any development on it (money has little to do with it, FWIW), or related stuff. We dismiss modern technologies like packaging because we insist that installing RISC OS software is easy, when it blantantly isn't. We put up with liars like John Cartmell, and we dismiss developers with considerable experience just because we don't like their answers. I'm the only one who's presented any kind of consistent and practical way to move forward with RISC OS (at least publically - I suspect ROOL have many of their own ideas), and give it some of the applications is so very desperately needs. I've done this despite very considerable critisism, and invested literally thousands of hours of my own time for very little money. But if I'm going to be undermined because Paul Vigay or anyone else can't be arsed to make any effort to cooperate and be contempt with half-arsed and mediocre measures, then there really isn't much point, and the decision for RISC OS to remain a backwards OS has already been made. So, once again, move onto where? And don't say, "continuing Firefox developement" because that misses the larger picture. > As for getting you angry that was never and is never my intention. I'm not angry. Just gravely disappointed. -- Peter Naulls - peter@xxxxxxxxxx | http://www.chocky.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RISC OS Community Wiki - add your own content | http://www.riscos.info/ --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
