Linux 32bit?

[Lagi Pittas]

Hi

If I didn't know about livecode or Hypercard and stumbled on the main site
today - I would be off in a flash.

If I landed on the Xojo main page and went to the store the prices and the
layout are not eye watering

https://xojo.com/store/index.php

I actually prefer livecode (I have enterprize B4A and B4I - non terminating
and also the Xojo Desktop full)

The prices are such that I didn't really have to think about it

The fact that with b4A and Xojo you have a $99 startup and be able to
upload to the appstore is the easiest way of getting people in).

I see Livecode has been sending out emails to get the Business and Indy at
80% or 90% of to people who just signed up for the newsletter - was told by
a Foxpro Colleaque - he was ready to buy when LC  made the licences
terminate after a year.

I bring this up again - at least for the Android and IOS versions the fact
that the SDKs need updating every year or so is enough to keep someone
updating the system - you don't have to grab their balls and pull them by
the  short and curlies.

Hello anyone listening!!!

The reason I think many of us "whine" is that we want LC to get the
traction it deserves but it seems Marketing isn't half (a 10th?)  as good
as the Developers.

Now i'll go under my Rock.

p.s.

The .org site is a disgrace to the LC web developer , and to the people at
LC towers who have given it their blessing it no pint in pulling punches.
If your going to put up a wbsite look at how the competition does the good
bits and the not so good bit and filter the wheat from the chaff.
