Terribly sad to read your post.

Thank you for taking the time to explain what happened and how you feel.

Your comments encapsulate the whole problem - the ROS world is becoming the
MG Owners Club*, a bunch of geriatrics and youthful enthusiasts desperately
trying to keep the old machines on the road whilst insisting that the
machines are just so nuch better than this modern stuff. Like the MG
owners, most of them seem to use something else for serious stuff.

I still harbour a hope that somehow those vital bits of missing software
will appear or that someone will find a way of cloning MartinW, David P and
others so that a real avalanche of new software will appear.

Good luck and I hope that you keep some connection with the RO world.

Cheers

Alan
