Do I count as: 1. a user of RealBasic
2. a user of Runtime Revolution ??? 1. I downloaded the free Linux version of RealBasic a while back - didn't like it and didn't use it - however my personal details are, presumably, washing around in the RealBasic company's database. 2. Somebody bought me a copy of DreamCard and I bought a copy of RRMedia (something I have lived to regret), and I do most of my work with the free version of RR (2.2.1) that was available for a while for Linux. Well, 1. NO!, but I bet I have been counted for RealBasic's statistical purposes. 2. YES and NO; YES, insofar as I do use RR on an almost daily basis, love it, feel "at home inside it", blah, blah, blah. NO, insofar as I probably do not show up as more than a 'blip' on RR's accountant's chart. So the claims of RealBasic are silly and pointless - I am happy to see that Runtime Revolution are not so silly as to make daft claims of a similar nature. Surely the way to assess a development suite's popularity is to look at the web traffic related to it: Downloads of finished software packages, Downloads of "bits and bobs", i.e. stacks, Traffic on use lists and fora (err, OK, 'forums'). sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ "Philosophical problems are confusions arising owing to the fluidity of meanings users attach to words and phrases."
