Unfortunately I STILL haven't been able to get my C6 applications moved over to
XE1 and trying to maintain them on C6 nowadays is just as bad. I suppose I
should sit down and spend a few weeks working on it, but with similar agro with
keeping the newer PHP applications working time gets even more scarce. It's
easier just maintaining hardware that runs XP and the older programs ...
sticking with FB1.5 where necessary ... upgrading just seems pointless when it
adds nothing to a project? The systems are still doing exactly the same as they
did 10 years ago and will do the same for the foreseeable future :)

I'm not sure I can decide in a couple of days if I need a more modern IBO. I
*AM* probably better off reworking the remaining windows code to run on Linux,
as ALL of the client interfaces are now web based and normally on Linux servers.
Well I say 'all', but I do still have a small number of sites with C6 clients
... but changing them would be at my own expense.
