Young, always get enlightened from your post, and irregular and infrequent my posts will be as I have a full academic load with my doctoral study, and teaching load. Still I'm committed almost as much to IOMG as I am to these endeavors. And I offer again the analogy, when you have a good product, people don't care about backward compatibilty. Look at the 8-track, the vinly LP, and the 5 1/4 floppy. We must not forget KE idea of migration path, and installed base marketing. It seems to be taking longer than we hoped, but there's a saying in OD (organizational design) in my previous career among other things I was an organizational effectiveness consultant, and these OD people said "sometimes we have 'to go slow' to go fast."
Ready for Mach speed some time next year. Additionally, the guy who gave me the article said all his Air Force 'nerdy' programmers LOVED the Zips.
Later, gotta hit the books.

P. S. Check out netxpress.com. Nothing to do with IOMG, so I apologize and warn others before hand. |
