Dino,
And don’t forget all of those portability issues with 2.1. It ran on Windows, but inconsistently with Mac OS IX. If you were running Linux, you couldn’t also be running an email server. And 1.7 conflicted with most of the popular anti-virus software. You’re right, it was a real pain in the ass.
Remember when we tried to speed up the Thunder’s Spell Correct subroutine? We coded some modules in assembly, but that made the portability issues even worse. Shit, I thought we were going to give up on the whole Thunder’s shit; thank God (and the folks at Sun Microsystems) for cross-platform Java.
Also, I haven’t received my last two paychecks - I don’t know if that’s your fault Dino, or twat’s or memento’s. Whatever. It’s held up the progress of migrating the ThunderWare to C# for the .NET platform. The longer you hold out, the longer this project will be delayed.
P.S., I really need the money (magnum-sized condoms cost more).
