ac> Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this is a poor attitude
ac> to take towards free software, especially open source stuff.
ac> We are all volunteers, so you can't just go around expectin
RdL> I realize that, but Mvan Le was accusing me of being an UN
RdL> evangalist for Maximus for talking about using Sycnrhonet. I was
errrmmm... i didn't read it like that... was i misreading UN to mean "United
Nations" instead of "negative"?? seemed to me that mvan's message was quite the
opposite??
i tend to agree with andrew on the attitude but i'm also stuck like you are in
that i don't code in Cstuff and am also at the mercy of those who can who will
also give willing of their time and experiance... coding isn't as easy as many
folk think it is...
imagine trying to code instructions on how to walk... now just think about all
the minute (minoot) details that one takes into account just trying to keep
one's balance...
let's make it even easier... just imagine creating and maintaining a phonebook
database... how many field of data are there? how do you store them? what about
sorting? recall? now, let's figure out how to display them on screen... we'll
worry about printing them later...
