It's a very sad thing, but it's also a very odd time when the post was posted. Which means major posters didn't logon to see the post or react/comment on it. (Odd time for most US posters) Ed will obviously be missed as a developer of Rebel. (which has been mentioned by Ed himself about 6 months ago in this forum and have been discussed at great length by many posters) However, there is no indication, that he will stop contributing in this forum or anything. I never bought any Rebel product only because they were DOS, however I have deep respect for him, and I am looking forward to buy RebelXP. If this decision makes him happy, I am happy. I am happy to see him happy. cheers, pavs ;)
