Re: Upgrading the OS. No luck.

2005-11-04 by Ronald Pieket

From the eloader readme file:

"One of the primary reasons E-Loader was developed using Java is
because it is especially helpful in developing applications that must
run on multiple operating systems."

This paragraph made me roll my eyes, after having so much trouble
getting this thing to run on my operating system. Grr.

Nice, but I'm not going to fill my home with computer hardware. It's
ugly, messy, too work-like, bad chi. I will make the occasional back
up using a sysex dump via regular midi.

Yes, an UNDO function would be nice. Was someone taking suggestions
for a new OS?
