Delphi For VB Developers (again)migration path' which Borland has provided for Delphi programmers to enable them to port Win32 code to .NET. Some people here suggested that some VB developers should think of switching development to Delphi rather than convert existing code to VB .NET.

download again and this time the file was downloaded fine. BTW: Thank you!!!!!!!!!! for providing a means to download the video files and be able to watch them later. It seems nowadays that many content providers expect (demand) that you have broadband so you can see their video streams, not giving the viewer a choice to download and watch later.

control panel that an awful lot of people have been watching those videos over the past couple of days (far more than I'd anticipated) so I'm guessing that maybe the downloads choked due to the sheer numbers of viewers....

Great clip! It pretty much shows the approach and attitude I've picked up throughout the community and in the product.

Why don't you start with Ballmer and see where that takes you (seriously)? He's one of the few execs that actually reads his email. You can easily get interviews with some of their marketeers and evalgelists, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

I always like a challenge.So Mr Gates, you think, may be too busy....? best wishes Huw ================================ Bitwise Magazine www.bitwisemag.com www.rantsandraves.co.uk Dark Neon Ltd. ================================ Hehe, nope. Not too busy, Gates just lives in a different world. To my
knowledge little from the outside world gets through his filters. Ballmer runs Microsoft. I've had response before when I've contacted Ballmer (though from a Rudder as a proxy). Good luck, and tell him Dan sez hey<g> See how that goes. If no luck, I can get you some other names (who also should never have had cause to learn my name). I'll send you another (less filtered) email address.

I don't think he's paying attention ever since he handed the keys over to ballmer.Head *way* in the clouds, while the company slowly swirls down the drain. > you'll find the video on www.bitwisemag.com a written version would be fine, I don't like video ActiveXs on my inet machine.

They aren't activex. I plan to have a fair mix of written and multimedia content in bitwise (video, audio, screencasts etc.) as I don't want it to comprise just 'pages of text and pictures' which might equally well be printed on the pages of a magazine and would therefore take no advantage of the special features of web publishing. There will, of course, be plenty of text and pictures for those people who don't want multimedia. best wishes Huw Collingbourne ================================ Bitwise Magazine www.bitwisemag.com www.rantsandraves.co.uk Dark Neon Ltd. ================================ I like the way you have it, Huw! Keep up the good work.
