I just find the forums not very usable because :
1) slow especially so for all those folks who still use dial up.
I had to resort to that recently and I could handle email quite
well but the forums were a definite non starter on a 28.8 modem
No getting around that, but if one is a developer, one probably
needs high speed for other things as well.
I do (mostly) but when it goes down I only have a modem as backup and
the email still works fine. The forums don't
2) can't be accessed offline (where you can always read your email)
I never do this. If I'm on a plane I want to work on something in
peace. Or at least look out the window... ;-) But sure, a lot of
people do that. I like it just for my MAIL though, not some generic
info feed.
Really ?
I've done this a fair number of times including this weekend where I
was away from a net connection and needed to find some info.
Ran spotlight and it grabbed a few emails on my machine and I had the
answer.
Can't do that with the forums.
3) it's blocked in some work places so if you're working on
something and need an answer you may not be able to even get to them
Well, if I'm using RB at work, for work and the company won't make
an exception for something this important, then I'd be concerned
about the company. If one is not using RB at work oops, that
loophole just got closed.
I've run into this mostly if I've had to go to a client site and
their IT dept says "NO" regardless
If their IT group was all using RB then maybe they'd open it up, but
since it's just one guy forget it.
But I can still get my email
But, you right this is NOT the biggest fish REAL has to fry.
REALbasic is
Sigh, yeah and then some....
I know I know .....
