The tragedy of the 'exiled' Scot is that he has been away so long he cannot tell if the birds have Scots accents or not. :) Bill Marriott wrote: The birds were outside *my* window :) And, for an 'exiled' Scot, the best bit of the Webinar was the sound of birds tweeting outside RunRev's offices in Edinburgh! ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Salivating . . .
And, for an 'exiled' Scot, the best bit of the Webinar was the sound of birds tweeting outside RunRev's offices in Edinburgh! Sum that sound with the already vocal group of birds here in Niteroi, BRAZIL and you have a quite loud group. I had to use earpieces to damper their interference. Also, my neighbour parrot shouts my name every once in a while, and my dog barks since it thinks someone if calling me to enter the house, and the parrot gets happy with such canine audience that keeps shouting it like there's no tomorrow and the dog goes on and on... the joys of nature, those two will explode one day from all that excitement. -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Also, I am, first of all, an educator; and with the advent of a FREE version of revMedia I really believe that this will empower many many people in a similar way to the wa y that Hypercard did; but in an even better way: I have a number of 9,10,11 year old kids who have done silly, little, kiddy jobs to buy their own Pentium 3 PCs (with a monitor, running at around $50 right now) and are as keen as mustard to get started. They have no money right now; but, in due course they will have, and if they grow up with Runtime Revolution it should be fairly clear where they will fling their money in the future. The fact that I have persuaded those kids that it is much better to spend the boling hot summer here in Bulgaria hunched over a PC learning programming rather than playing shoot-em-up games will be supported in a big way I could only fantasize about until 2 hours ago. 5 years ago, as part of my MSc, I trialled a mockup agent-led GUI coded in RR with Primary teachers at Greyfriar's Primary School in St Andrews. The teachers, extremely hard-working, devoted teachers, were blown away with how rapidly one could run up half-decent stuff for content delivery and reinforcement. None of them had anything that one could call disposable income; free revMedia at home, and licensed RR at school would have made all the difference. One teacher pointed to the school's 20-odd PCs running 98/XP and said that she was sick to death of getting kids to use the Paint program (what a socking waste of resources!). Here in Plovdiv they teach High School kids PASCAL, which is, unless you are some sort of retro-geek, a major turn-off. I shall, very shortly, become a pusher for RR, and be trotting round the school giving demos of just what can be done.
