I just came across this thread and have to post my comments—

- I understand the negativity here, but PSS I hope you will not let the bad vibes discourage you.

- Yes we Ecco fanatics have been disillusioned in the past. Yes EccoExt from Slang and Infoqube are the only exceptions from the rule that our hopes will be dashed—BUT

- After all these years I would like nothing more than what you appear to be working on - an updated and working new generation of software on the Ecco Pro model.

- Seems to me a lot of the concern comes from PSS’s phrasing (StoryServer?) (“tough”?). I presume this comes from someone for whom English is not a first language. If not, then trouble is ahead for sure—BUT

- I for one want to applaud these efforts and wish you the best. The Ecco Pro model may not have taken the world by storm 20+ years ago, and it won’t take it by storm now, but from those of us who embraced it over the years then I bet you’ll find plenty of support for beta testing and initial deployment.

- To PSS, I say thank you for letting us know that this is on the drawing board and please keep us informed as you proceed.

- I see you have posted here and at DonationCoder.com. One thing that has been missing from the Ecco world forever (as far as I know) is a dedicated forum where Ecco enthusiasts can communicate with each other and help with progress. The Yahoo forum has been our lifeline but the software is absolutely awful. The forum at Eccomagic had potential, but for some reason I never understood was not well used. Donationcoder is better for the announcement, but we really need a FULL PHPBBS or similar forum dedicated to your work where people can post problems and solutions and they can be found in the future without reinventing the wheel. Infoqube has that and it is VERY helpful. PLEASE consider your own dedicated forum software location, and if you do please let us know about it!!!
