RTE

I had written.... To which Dave held my feet to the fire... *grin* I have no sound logical basis for this. Purely subjective gut reaction to the admittedly tiny amount of exposure I've had to it. Most OS's that I first look at... because I've had lots of exposure to lots of other OS's... there is some amount of "oh, yeah, that makes sense, I bet I know where they are heading, I suspect they implemented this THAT way...". I do not get that sense with RTE for some reason. Every time I've started digging in to it by reading in manuals, I find myself raising an eyebrow a lot and muttering "huh?". This is more a statement about me than the OS probably ;) That does not mean RTE is a bad or hard to grasp OS, that's not what I'm saying. I'm merely saying that for ME, the way MY brain is wired (peanut gallery - shup)... I don't just intuitively "get it" with RTE like I do many other OS's. When I approach a new OS, often when I am familiar with one area I can at least make educated guesses about other areas of it and "slide right in" to get productive right away. I just don't get that "transitional familiarity" with RTE. This could be a deficiency in my wiring ;) This could be that I really haven't spent enough time with RTE for the light bulb to go off. Could be both! Hopefully no one will take what I said for myself as a reason THEY should shy away from RTE. What I can say, is that I will be delving in to RTE at some point in the future in detail. Sooner or later, I've decided to make time for it and give it a real chance. Perhaps then the light bulb will go off and I will radically change my tune :) Jay
