Folks,
What has happened to the IDL newsgroup!? Is it relevant anymore?
Has everyone moved to RSI's forum page?
I wrote three (at least) inflammatory articles yesterday,
trying to get a rise out of someone and .... nothing. :-(
Cheers,
David
P.S. If you are looking for me, I'll be hanging out in
the future at alt.sci.fetish.moonmission.

Does RSI still have the individual contracts for maintenance and
support? If so, does this have something to do with RSI's lack of
participation? If everything were answered by RSI in the newsgroup or
other forum, who'd need the support contract?
Also, is there a point of contact at RSI to voice your comments,
complaints and feature requests? We are up to IDL 6 and still don't
have nice fonts in direct graphics and are still stuck in the 8-bit
dungeon among other shortcomings of the software. I could go on, but
I'll spare you since I'm preaching to the choir.
