Obviously with different paths.

Re: Top things you are waiting for ....
In App Purchases for MacOS apps. When I can’t make money using LiveCode, I have to use something else. Everything in LiveCode should be Unicode. Really surprised there is stuff that is not.

Re: [OT] The Fall of the British Empire???
Oh, I have no illusions re Empires at the moment: there is one generally good one (USA) , and 2 pretty bad ones: C and R. I hope that the good one will finally pull the teeth of the bad ones, and that will sufficiently weaken the good one that it will calm down a bit.
