Re: EGL to become Eclipse project

LOL! Yes, I suppose most of the code from the 80's is more like 88 or 89,
but still I was in elementary school then :-)

Lucky you, working with modern code!

I kind of see the backwards compatibility as a blessing and a curse. It's
great things work, but it also leads to code that never really gets
looked
because it just works. I've seen code out there just about as old as I
am. A
lot of the code I end up having to working was written in the 80's and
90's.
