It was clear; you confirmed your own understanding in that very first
post, so I saw the objection as more of an attempt to signal virtue.
If that helps anyone feel some self esteem, I'm glad. This machine was
designed specifically for Windows, so the description is appropriate.
And maybe more relevant to testing LiveCode 815 than standing to pee.
But on that subject, which I never imagined seeing here, I would
advise males to pee in the most manly way possible during coding
breaks. Stand proudly, preferably sporting a Molon Labe T-shirt and
oversized belt buckle with a rebel design. Extra points for carrying
around a bowie knife or a LiveCode powered mobile web server. Use this
moment to celebrate the masculine heritage that only real men can
fully experience and embody as they pee. Then go back and dominate
that code like a true alpha!
Does that seem like we're getting off track a little?
Just a spot . . .
However, just at the moment I am gearing up to use 8.1.4 with the kids
on my summer courses (so not much time to test
8.1.5) and excited about that: mainly because each year I have kids
working with LiveCode they discover/uncover ways
of doing things I never dreamt of . . .
. . . another thing that makes LiveCode so fantastic!
Oh yes, I was saying that this LC version is working much better on my
machine than the previous two. It makes an efficient 8 workflow
possible, and that is much appreciated. Thought the feedback might be
useful. I usually don't install the RCs, but I'm glad I tried this
one, so don't hesitate - it truly makes life easier, at least on -
ahem - Windows.
That reminds me: I have to dig out the machine running ReactOS from
under the bed (so called because most people's reaction
on seeing it is . . . ) and try to run the latest Windows version there,
and on WINE on Linux.
While standing to pee maybe . . . running the Windows version of LC on
ReactOS is . . . . probably plain daft!
Richmond.
