Dear Noam,
Thank you very much for gathering all of that information and
collecting support. I was a beta tester for Mac IDL in 1993 and have
continued to use Mac IDL through job changes, cross-Atlantic move,
during my PhD etc. I started a group at my old NASA-Ames job to use
Mac IDL before I left that place in the mid 1990s, and I know that
many of the space scientists there are devoted Mac users. My current
MPI-K group is small, and I'm surrounded by PC and Sun IDL users (The
molecular biology lab next door is much more Mac heavy than my
institute) but we are slowly growing with Macs, and *was* planning to
buy a Mac IDL license soon.
As far as I'm concerned, people will have to pry my Macintosh from my
dead fingers. I appreciate your efforts alot. I hope we get RSI to
rethink their decision.
Amara
P.S. The first year that I started using IDL was in 1982 on a PDP-11.
