Re: Codegears Problem

Actually there is some pretty neat stuff with Microsoft's Surface
technology:

The technology uses cameras to identify where the screen is being
activiated.

Now we had lots of Delphi Apps out in Windows 3 and Windows 95 using Touch
screens -- and this was done using Delphi 1 (Beta) onwards.

And now I hear it's a new feature in the _next_ Windows. Glory Be!

Maybe I should send a letter of apology to Microsoft for breaking my oath
of secrecy about new features -- and to think it was over a decade ago...

What will they think of next eh?

Maybe David I should get on a podium somewhere and Tout Delphi as a
RADical new approach to programming -- completely totally new... Just
don't sue us for letting the cat out of the bag years ago.
