Well... Don't die over the product, Phil... It's not worth it. I am still patiently waiting. I am still using Witango and I still live by the product. Also, I have never been so busy, as of late. If you ever need any endorsements for your product, I would be willing to do that for you. I have been working on apps for Target, Blue Cross, Dairy Queen, Assurant Health, Honeywell, US Health, and a host of smaller companies. Since the economy went South, companies looking for rapid development are looking more diligently at costs. The fact that I can bid at 20% or less then most other developers gives me a distinct advantage. I have come to realize that most of the corporate world could care less what platform/software you use... They just want results, stability and redundency. If you can give them that, who cares what I use.

Scenario 4 is is close to the mark. Scenario 5, still not sure about this one. Jury is still out on whether Witango will be the death of me! To those still using Witango and wanting to, As I have admitted previously I do not live a public life, I am not a communicator, marketer or PR guru, I am just the guy that is in the background getting on with what I need to get done. Witango has not been shelved. Admittedly it is has not been on a fast track but it is still alive. Yes, it is still a niche product and will continue to be. It is still part of our business model and we are still providing licensing and support for version 5.5 to those that require it and we will continue to do so while there is a demand for it right down to the very last user. Witango 6 will be available to those that still want to use it. With the latest OS X Java update we now have a fully functioning dev studio that is able to replace the old carbon Mac studio. ... To Robert G, What you do and whether you listening to your peers is entirely up to you. It is your decision and I am sure you will balance the pros and cons of your actions. Personally I have never been judged so often and harshly by someone who does not know me, have any contact with me, have any understanding of me, understanding of the way I lead my life or run my business, what motivates me personally or professionally or knows what is going on in my private life. May I offer you some wisdom - a long time ago I learnt not to make judgements without compassion and to never judge someone's actions until I knew what there motives or situation was. This wisdom has served me well time and time again. You have told us all on several occasions that you are moving on to the PHP community so if there is nothing positive keeping you here please move on with your professional life. I am sure there are many more positive things you can dedicate your time and energy to there than beating up on Witango/Me here.
