From: Geoff Schaller on 21 Sep 2006 17:57 Patrick, Well, we'll have to agree to disagree but if you guys really think that way then you need to take a valium and have good lie down. You are taking things way too seriously and way too personally. Geoff

A nashi of course. http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/pome-fruits/okusanki.htm It's a big industry here and very popular with the Japanese.
From: Geoff Schaller on 21 Sep 2006 18:15 Marc, Correct. Again the disappointing thing is how little new stuff is in 2.8 and little of the GUI classes are properly fixed. ...and how much of the promised things aren't there. A new editor is really just a fix for the old one (and an acknowledgment it couldn't be fixed) but for all that, it worked. Given our slow migration away from VO to C# I don't know yet whether it will be worth the upgrade money. I guess we will wait for reviews in here and certainly the first patch. There is always a patch - in fact there are always several <g>. Had there been more new stuff and more of the requested fixes my attitude might have been different.

From: Ginny Caughey on 21 Sep 2006 18:18 Geoff, The new editor alone is worth the upgrade to VO 2.8. You will like it, and especially since you don't have any plans to move your VO apps to .NET and will be maintaining them in VO. -- Ginny "Geoff Schaller" <geoff(a)xxxsoftwareobjectives.com.au> wrote in message news:45130ef7$1(a)dnews.tpgi.com.au... > Marc, > > Correct.
