Bill Michael has asked me to apologise to the list about my comments about Geoff Perlman and RealBASIC. I sincerely apologise for my comments and undertake not to do anything like this again. My comments were brought on by a mixture of events, not the least being that I had just come back from 6 hours in the emergency ward of a hospital where I took a friend who needed treatment. I got home at 4am and was extremely fatigued. This is no excuse for my behaviour. I should have left my email alone and just had a shot or two of whisky and otherwise wind down. Thank you Bill for your polite reprimand. Thank you Geoff Perlman for your polite response. My best wishes to the list. Peter mailto:peter@... http://www.isoma.com
