Hi, Rollei aficionados
A tiny bit of off-topic does not hurt when software is discussed here,
since without computers & software, we could not share our common
interest in Rollei cameras worldwide on the Internet.
To add some comments to what David Sadowski said ...
https://www.freelists.org/post/rollei_list/Life-after-Windows-10,1
... I dare to add here some comments that I wish to be as neutral as
possible and non-controversial, I add here this quote from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_operating_system
"By the end of 2014, Windows Phone global market share was 2.7%.[10]"
Whereas the same Wikipedia page credits Android with more than 80% of
market share at the same time.
I'm a member of this honourable Rollei community since 1999.
I beared the horrors of crossing the Y2K barrier with you.
At the time, I had switched to Linux since 1998, but I would never
expect that a linux-based open & free software would ever challenge
Microsoft.
The same Wikipedia page says:
"Android (based on the Linux Kernel) is from Google Inc.[6] It has the
largest installed base worldwide on smartphones. In fact it is the
most popular operating system for general purpose computers ...
Android is free and open-source software"

And the most important : using Rollei cameras continuously since 1977.
Almost 40 years!
