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. All this together can occur for sure but does not
give the feeling of a professional approach.

One of the reason of my departure was the claim of the team to go toward a very
professional approach.

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.

?
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.
