Nice irony :) I like it, really. And I expected something like that sooner or later.
If you do not like this situation, well ... I could easily say something like "it is your problem" but I would like to argument it a bit just to let you see my view.
When I started to frequent PB forum there was no Café forum.
When they started Café forum I started to feel exactly like you. I didn't suffer that area.
But during the years, my idea changed. My thought now is that talking about programming for programming between programmers is a very limited situation and will for sure bring to a very limited forum.
Programmers need real life situations problems to solve using programming. Mixing different thoughts of different people using different sources to look at theyr interests is a very good mix. Contamination of different matters is what bring us to share different view of the same reality and find different interests converging into common solutions.
At that point a programming language can help.
And the programming language is not necessary thinBasic.
Going a little bit in details regarding thinbasic support ... Maybe you do not follow to much support area that is located at http://www.thinbasic.com/community/project.php
Honestly I do not see so many Basic languages supported so well, so professional, so transparent like I try to do. Yes, I would like to have more time to dedicate to the project but the level and quality of service I currently give to all thinbasic users is not bad for a free product
If I'm wrong let me know

Eros;
I don't know about where you are but here in Quebec texting in your car will get you a lecture from a cop and a nasty fine.

Here too but ...
if you drive around Milan (I live north Milan, Italy) from 06:30 to 10:00 or 17:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday average speed in less than 20 km per hour so you have plenty of time were you are stuck in the car for many minutes.
I live 54 km far from my job place and it takes me 2 hours to go to work in the morning an 2 hours to go back home in the evening
My record was 4 hours to go to the work
Do you want I waste all that time?
No! I arrive at work after 20 mails sent and more than 50 handled.
I thought life in Milan would be stress free, 2 hour commutes I would never picture in my mind's eye, WOW!!!!
5 hours commuting??? Never I would do that. Luckly I have 40 minutes total.
Hello Eros,
You mentioned about the level of support for thinBasic.
By far, the level of support I have received for the free thinBasic
is far better than any support I have received even for paid software and support.
The reason for this I think is because:
1. thinBasic developers are the best and very helpful ! :D
2. thinBasic developers have a intense passion for their craft.
3. The support staff are the actual developers and they know immediately
what the problem is without me having to explain all the software details.
4. thinBasic developers are always on the forum and respond immediately to questions/problems.
I thank all you thinBasic developers and helpers - namely Eros and Petr, and any others who have helped
me and other people with questions.
I have thinBasic on 5 computers now at work and we here at Medtronic, use thinBasic for developing
medical devices such as pacemakers, drug pumps for pain and diabetes therapy, etc.
Your work is saving lives !
Thank you guys tremendously.
