A new age.

Hi there,

It's been a while since I wrote here. It feels like years have passed..
Thanks everyone for the kind responses you gave me back then, it meant and still means a lot to me.

I'm happy to see Haiku remains being developed towards a first official release, still can't wait to see that day coming. In the meantime I didn't code a single line myself ..

Well, at least I've been able to keep my homepage online, and this will remain so I expect since I could succesfully transfer it from my old provider account to a new one some weeks ago.

Maybe I'll even be able to write a few lines of code for Haiku's drivers in the future. Though I still need to setup my 'old' equipment a bit for that. I guess only time will tell what will come of it.

In the meantime I did not get messages from people wanting to take over driver development, so all hardware remains in my possession for now. I'm curious when we'll see that situation change btw.. :-)

I have to confess that I am looking to the ReactOS site every now and then: maybe you've heard of it: it's a opensource Windows clone running native Windows apps and drivers. It looks like a viable alternate OS to Windows for the future to me. If they don't get 'killed' that is.

Anyhow: I am a Haiku/BeOS fan myself when it comes to coding, and I love the community.

I haven't got more to say at this time, so I'm signing off now. If and when I got some news, you'll no doubt hear of it some way or another. I'm still curious to that higher level 3D engine a bit..

Until next time.

Rudolf.

Oh, my 'public' Email adresses are still off-line and will remain so for the time being. Bye!

Hi Rudolf. Nice to see that you're still around.

Just a quick comment about ReactOS. Here's the point, given the choice between a trouble free original, or a free knock-off with who knows what sort of issues, people will select the original, even if it means they have to pay $100 or so. For this reason alone, I dont see ReactOS gaining momementum. Though this is a free world, and people can choose to do with their time what they want.

Cheers.
