Oh, dear. THAT touched a nerve!
I wrote a reply, but I've deleted it. God knows I
don't want to set this newsgroup on fire. Let's just
say you and I are going to have to agree to disagree
about why iTools seem to lack acceptance. :-)
I do think you will find, however, if you search
the archives of this newsgroup, that the three or four
astronomers using widgets today are doing so only
because of my unrelenting efforts to push this new
and innovative technology.
Cheers,
David
P.S. I agree with you, though, that people should try
them. That's the only way to form your own opinion.
