As I could se there is no such example, 1000 pages with 2 pictures on. Yes, if I could reproduce it, then I should doing that. Instead I say to my self, NO more (bigger) projects using REALbasic. > > I have been putting out pre-release demos that people could buy a > license so that they can get an early jump on integrating it into > their applications with the caveat that this is beta software.

I think the mostly developers of something wanted that, but as I said, it is not only your tools that is depending on an good result, it is the whole concept including REALbasic. > You won't have to wait to long now for the finished > product and then you can judge.

It is not worth a penny, if I not have a solid compiler tool to compile your code with. So perhaps the 3rd parity plugins/classes discussion should start with the "ground" REALbasic ... Then we could discuss if a plugin is worth 10 or 1000 dollar.. And just about this, today I found an "advertisement" for the REALWorld 2007 on RB Garage, using a reference that CLOSED the door, sad and ironic in the same time.
