I was refering to the "HT" in "HTTP"
And "backbone was a poor choice of words.
I'm sure even sure whether the internet has one.

Thanks Lyrical
Not bad for a demented old timer though, just one mistake?
I think this ros-general list is good for me.
I can't have only got that much wrong, I guessed most of it?
The point I am trying to make is this: Gossip is great but it doesn't cut in court.
Rule of Evidence and Rules the the Court are all a Judge rules on.
The Judge in on our Case is the ordinary person in the street.
Statements like ReactOS is still an Alpha release is not necessary.
Microsoft has made the eternal Alpha release it's fortune.
Now Red Hat has too, and most other Linux releases.
Copy Cat Industrialised production cannot be trusted.
I get mixed messages from ReactOS Users.
Is this an issue worth pursuing?
Cheers and rosuccess

A new version of ReactOS has arrived on SourceForge.Net
Release Candidate 2 of version 0.2.8 has been finished last night and
upped. As usual you're welcome to download and test.
At this space some personal note:
This is the first publish the new Releasemanager Brandon Turner did. For
an unknown time, he'll do all future releases, since I go on some longer
jorney. I'll not disappear from ROS but at least for some time. But I'm
coming back within a year or so.
Sorry guys.
In my preoccupation with separating USER from PROGRAMMER I stepped into a rather smelly issue of my own making.
However your response is making me aware of a number of issues which may have lain dormant, simply because nobody "in the know" would have had (myself included) the courage to ask such a seemingl silly question..
How many Users would know what NT even means: Afterall Users don't program or do they?
Cheers and rosuccess

Heh! I opened either a treasure trove or a pandoras box.
It doesn't matter which at this stage.
All it means is, it's ok to express that opinion which you thought too silly to mention before.
This is the concept of Freedom which the concept of Limit enhances.
For without Limit there can be no progress at all.
Within relative Limits of course. [Newtons laws of motion]
Sorry I just can't help myself.

May I add one more suggestion?
Should anyone have a non trivial point tp make then it should look like this:
Subject: Issue 1.1 [Re: [ros-general] ROS-User-Issues].
Later on I will demonstrate another nifty trick.

And who better, to kick it off with a real stupid "end" user question.
It's called "foot in mouth disease", and quite prevalent downunder.
Heck, someone has to play the idiots advocate.

Not that I agree entirely with Earnie Boyd either.

Issue 1
Telstra Bigbond has announced that they are following Microsofts plan to drop support for Windows98 fron 17th August this year.
It is clear that Microsoft is no longer supporting backward compatability, only forward.
These are two entirely different Technologies, both at the OS and at the File level.
If ReactOS policy is to be plug compatibe with Windows, how does ReactOS plan to deal with it?
