As you've been told a thousand times, the hostility that you detect is apparent only to you.

But that would take bigger balls than you've ever owned.

I wouldn't be - it's the only way I'm going to find out about it, for instance, such as when you posted your podcast link a while ago. Interesting to hear a different view. Cheers, Ian

I wish too (I'm very annoyed by the many shortcomings of MacSOUP myself, every day), but it's very unlikely that it will happen. Quite a while ago I started a prototype of a rewritten MacSOUP in Cocoa, and I got it to a point where it could open an existing MacSOUP database (sort of "read-only"), but not connect to a server yet. It quickly became apparent that I couldn't just keep MacSOUP the way it is; it would have to be thoroughly redesigned. The keyboard assignments are a complete mess, for instance, and that's just one example. My rough estimate is that it would take me half a year of full-time work to design and develop it; just the software development parts of the task. And then there's graphics design (toolbar icons, stuff like that) and a manual, that's probably another two or three months. This is not something that anybody can do in his spare time. Besides, if your day job is software development, you really don't feel like doing more software development in the evenings and on weekends. Just dreaming: taking a sabbatical and doing it during that time is something I could imagine. However, I have to feed a family and I simply need the salary; and this is not something that a couple of people gathering on usenet and setting up a PayPal account can compensate for, honestly. So - sorry, folks. -Stefan -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/
