Great comment, Steven. I feel my self direct addressed with this statement. Because I WASTED not only my last weekend, but a lot of time keeping the f*** java 1.3 compatibility. Yes, seems like it is not big deal for all of us. But just for the records, let me state:
"No one of my customers, employees, myself nor my family use or used java 1.3.x at all!"
Now, I know what this work means for other community members. Thank you for let me know I wasted my time, trying to keep a DAMN coontract we have with our user base! I will choose now to do better things with my weekends. Fortunately, in my country is summer the whole year!
Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo.
