Tomasz,
Thank you for sharing your plans on future AB developments regarding
the pertinent operating systems. I think the idea of
maintaining 'backward compatibility', while being able to disable 'XP-
only'-type features that will only function on the most recent
operating systems is an excellent one, and your decision to implement
this concept, in my opinion, is VERY prudent!
As for my 'kind words', you certainly have EARNED them, and I
passionately feel that you DESERVE the praise and gratitude that I've
expressed. I know that MANY, MANY others on this forum have
expressed similar sentiments in the past....I'm just one
more 'afficionado' to add to your growing list of people who
acknowledge and are appreciative of your form of 'Better World
Work'!! A 'toast' from the heart: "May you continue to share YOUR
wonderful talents with those of us whose talents are expressed in
other ways...".
Take good care, Tomasz......Till later and another time.....
Buzz
