Sorry to lose you, Richard. As you know, you and I have had similar
views many times about RO, and, sadly, I agree with all you say.

I can't quite work out why Iyonix Ltd don't take much more of a lead
in software development - it's in their interests as they'd sell more
machines, and they own the O.S. I also can't see why Ad6 went to RO
Ltd instead of Castle for their version of the OS. They must be very
frustrated at RO Ltd's inability to complete the OS for them in
anything like a sensible time.

Is it really a bad business plan for Castle/Iyonix Ltd, Ad6, and maybe
even CJE to get more involved in serious professional software
development to sell more of their products and open up new markets?

Jeremy.
