<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi All</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am a member and read the submissions, but from what I have
seen, most of you have been programming in Delphi for may years and often your
questions are specific to certain area's so not everyone can reply.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm a Delphi newbee and program for 'hobby'. I tend to use the
Delphi Page Forum for my 'simple' questions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All I can say is that the reason I got out of programming
for a living is highlighted by most of your questions. E.g. 'I'm running
2010 and xxx doesn't work.' I always found it hard to recoup the time spent on
'bug' costs from customers. . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I still wonder whether a whole simpler system would be better
overall. If it worked, I suppose MS or others would never sell any upgrades
??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>PS I still have some ex-customers running Clipper Dos
programs I wrote 25 years ago. </FONT></DIV>
