No, Howard, it was me!
The mailing list is a little obscure about bounced mail (due to a spam filter) and holds, like cappy's posting, which was to big to be send.
Yesterday I visited the moderators pages and found about 30 mails in hold, one being cappy's mail, the rest all spam. I found nothing wrong with cappy's message, so I let it through to the net.
Anyway, cappy, you send something in that mail which was larger then normal.

Do you mean there was an attachment that was too big?
I can't remember what I sent in email last week. If you guys expect me to remember what I sent in the beginning iof last year, I'm going to have to find another list |

Huh, didn't the list do an excellent job remebering it for you then  
The mail has a somewhat largish image attached to it (explaining some windows settings), ading up to a total of 64 kB.

Well, I'm glad Wout chimed in because I was about to hack into the application's database - something that is pretty unfamiliar to me. The software is a huge python application that has proven to be very robust.

Well, the thing is... To Howard and me the NM list is generating a lot of bouncing mails, about 60 a day. Normal traffic is very low, about a mail in a month or so. It is possible, very possible I deleted the hold warning with the bouncers out of my mail box. Just a check up brought me to that list, mentioned here above. I have to apologize.
Anyway, the members list is shrinking. We lost about a quarter already...

There's that &^%$ number again!
I was about to make a comment about that limitation (moreso regarding previous conversations, than this recent email that got through the list),
but I am humbled by the fact that we (where I work) we still use DOS for testing purposes in the year 2007.
(as well as Linux, Windows, MAC OS). |

Ah well, in my company we run CAD software under DOS still ... it's getting a bit scary though. Still it performs pretty good, software used to be a lot more performance efficient say 15 years ago. BTW, a while ago I read someone saying "real software developers" have "fast computers", actually that's not a very good idea at all

Actually, I used to work with the guys the developed Unix at Bell Labs. Even though AT&T would buy then any computers they could ask for, they always used average to slow systems. At the time, they used a lot of Vax 11/750s when they could have had 11/785s and the like. They preferred slow computers because it forced them to write efficient code. Wouldn't it be nice if that's the attitude the people in Redmond, Oregon had?

I may have already mentioned this ....
You would probably enjoy reading this.

It's a very interesting recollection of the history, politics and decisions that transpired during the development of Unix.
I've read it a couple of times and still wonder how those guys did so much with so little. |

Maybe Vista would have been finished then let's say three or four years ago

Speaking of Vista- (I don't plan on jumping on that train for a long time- maybe never), but does anyone have Clavia's input regarding the G2 editor (and other SW products) and support for Vista?
If they have to make any changes for Vista compatibility, maybe we'll get an update which includes new features or bug fixes.... |
