Re: Oberon Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1
Why is this digest being degraded by the inclusion of a flame war, or at least the beginnings of one? I use oberon to do real work (bluebottle). I don't share it because I don't think it would be of interest. (Yet. See Schopenhauer's introduction to his essays on morality for the reason that "to think as the world will in thirty years' time is not something that [just] anyone can do.) Anyhow, stop responding to Mr. Flamely. cygnus inter anates sr

Well it's an ill will that doesn't blow somebody some good. :) For instance I'm glad to hear you're doing some real work with BlueBottle. Is this the renderer, Joy or something else? At this point BlueBottle is still so new and the community so small that anything anybody is doing with it is interesting to me. Regards, John M.

I seem to death-spiral around Bluebottle, Plan 9, Inferno, Squeak and Linux, for various reasons. I love Bluebottle, and it brings back great memories of Oberon as my primary OS, but I find myself needing some other service (lately CUPS for my wife's OSX laptop or a decent browser for my online banking) and I'm too lazy or ill-equiped to implement the missing bits and pieces or I get too attached to some other aspect of some other OS. I also like to delude myself into thinking that a single OS will meet my needs and curiosities. One thing I do love about Bluebottle is the implementation of nearly everything from Jef Raskin's book The Humane Interface. I wonder if Jef knows? -Jack
