There were problems with the connection, with the GUI, with the format of the book used, with the PC hardware maybe, all this together as if nothing had ever been tested before the event.

One of the reason of my departure was the claim of the team to go toward a very professional approach. >This, however, has nothing to do with Ryan. You are completely right. I am sorry that ryan considered it as a personal attack and I do apologise wholeheartedly if my post could be read in this sense. ryan is a nice guy (and a brilliant programmer) with which I had numerous pleasant contacts and I am really sorry if I hurted him with my post. > >BTW, I hear you will be working with Thomas on Toga. ? How could I "work" with him : I am no programmer. I just offered my old fruit books for free on WBEC and anybody including Thomas can use them with any engine. >Good luck with that, >though it seems a bit of a dead-end path since it will never compete an any >serious event due to its origins. > >Regards, > >-elc.
