phpBB is a Zen experience

I am loving this phpBB software.
It is already making support much easier and more fun.
I wish I had done this long ago.

The year 2010 is a rebirth for me after a bad 2009.
I am looking forward to re-invigorating the eXpress++ community and creating some new alliances that will bring more solutions for us.

hi,

sometimes with new Software i ask myself why we do not have it before ;)

as all know me "i love Xbase++", but now i saw WinDev http://www.windev.com/
i do a "testdrive" with it and it is like from a 200PS VW Golf to a 800PS Ferrari :auto-iroc:

Your response is to say to me that Xbase++ no longer matters.

If that is true, then why are you here and not on the Windev forum?

What is your objective in making such a comment?
Is it to try to convince Xbase++ developers that they need to drive a Ferrari?
So what does our community gain from such a comment?

Are you saying that eXpress++ developers should abandon 10 years of development and hundreds of customers so they can go drive a Ferrari?

Have fun with that. :sad-roulette:

hi,

no,no,no you realy missunderstood me.

as i say "i love Xbase++" but like my VW Golf it is old.

It does not have all the new elektronic Gadgets which makes "driving"
much easy and safer, but i´m still the "Driver"

In a Ferrari you have all that Stuff, but a "normal" Driver need it
for his own safty, else the Car will "drive" him (... out of the Road)

about WinDev : i use it like Xbase++, harbour, Cl*pper, MASM or other

If Alaska make something like that, we all can "drive" faster and we can develop quicker.

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I am a bit testy today because I haven't been away from the computer for 2 months. I occasionally need a break from all this and so I find that it satisfies my soul to write an essay or read a book about someone who went on a great adventure. I often think of Xbase++ as a great adventure because it is not without its pitfalls but if you persevere you tend to always get rewarded.
