Re: WDSC V7 Turbo Boost -- WDSCI-L

Trevor,

You can use the straight keyboard, I like the curved! :)

As soon as I posted, I saw your response to David. Too bad you can't
"recall" a post before it hits..

IMO, one of the reasons I get such a response is that I use it before I
preach. (Not that you don't.) I just sit there using it and someone
will ask. Sometimes it takes a few weeks of glances before they ask.
Then I can put on my "Trevor Hat" and start eulogizing.

Sharon,

I jumped the gun on David. :-) His stats were inside his shop, and are
probably accurate to 7 decimals.

Still, I am seeing more and more adoption of WDSc as I run around the
world
consulting. I find a lot of PDM, but the 'resistance' to change is
mostly
due to ignorance (not knowing) of the offerings. Now that the word is
spreading, I am surprised more often when I walk into a shop and find
they
are modernizing their toolset.

While I do preach WDSc for the shops that are not yet using it, I
probably
don't get quite the positive response that you do..

Not sure about why I would need an ergonomic keyboard on a mac...

Trevor,

As a consultant, I would agree with David's statement. After visiting
numerous shops in the last 10 years, only 1 in 20 were using WDSC. I
purposely use it wherever I go. Once someone sees what it can do its
easy to convert those that are willing to try new ideas. Some of

these

companies are quite large with many developers.

Just as I take my ergonomic keyboard, I take my WDSC with me.

David,

Where do you get your 95% statistic from?

It seems to me that this number is fast becoming outdated. In fact,

the

amount of traffic on WDSC-L would indicate that more than 5% of the
midrange-L population are WDSc or Rdi users..

Just wondering if that number is fact or a wild-donkey guess?

Eric,

It will probably come in the future as PDM isn't being improved

anymore. But

95% of the shop have stuck to their green screens. If only we had

never seen

WDSc V5. If the first time you go to a restaurant, you get a fly in

the soup,

you aren't likely to go back.

As I can't install anything without an administrator, I'm stuck. I

was

lucky

to get zillions of bytes worth of PTF installed recently to try and

fix my V6.
