> Marketing does have a road map for CodeWarrior for Mac OS

That's nice. Does engineering have a roadmap? In particular, does it
have one that doesn't have a "Bridge collapsed ahead" sign on it? :-)

Did you have to twist their arm? LOL

> so if there are any questions they can be answered promptly.

Of course there's a question: Is MW going to resume active development
of CW, and in particular, have a future release that generates x86
binaries? And of course it's too late to answer it promptly, but we'd
still like to hear the answer.

FWIW, I dare say no one cares about marketing's roadmap (well, okay,
I'm sure marketing cares ;-). We want to know if engineering has a
roadmap.

> I'm assuming we will announce the road map at the AdHoc conference.

Assumptions are evil. Of course sometimes they're valid. I assumed we
wouldn't see a roadmap before you left for vacation. ;-)

> I just didn't want you to worry if you didn't hear from me :)

Okay, we won't worry. You've told us you assume we get a roadmap. What
more could we ask than a assumption that we'll get a roadmap? LOL

No, no, this is too easy. I just can't. ROFLMAO

Make it interesting. Take a parachute and jump out. ;-)

I think we all get the drift of your thinking over the last little while.
Could you also share a little mercy please?

thanks....

Well, he DID suggest using a parachute ;-)

What, you want me to loan him *my* parachute? ;-)

FYI, balloon and helicopter jumps are the only skydives in which you
ever feel like you're falling, because those are the only ways to start
a skydive in still air. I know if *I* were going up in a balloon I'd
much rather jump out of it than land with it (how boring).

Actually, there's no way you'd get me in a hot air balloon *without* a
parachute. LOL

I believe I know exactly what he meant, and it was definitely not as 
unkind as you seem to suppose. In the circumstances, a little gentle 
ribbing should certainly do no harm.

Well, I jumped out of a plane once, and I felt like I was falling...

Not to mention the heroic restraint he showed in not using "hot air" and 
Metrowerks in the same sentence.  Ron fed him about as good a straight line 
as you're going to get...

I jumped out of an airplane once, without a parachute.

Oh, yea, it was parked at the time.

Cool!

Nah, it was just windy. LOL

When you jump out of a plane you basically start your dive at about
80mph into the wind in the direction the plane is going, and over the
course of the next several seconds that speed gradually increases to
115-120mph and your movement through the air transitions to vertical
(i.e, you accelerate as you move through an arc). You never experience
the full feeling of falling because there's always significant
resistance from the air. But if you jump from a balloon or a
helicopter, you start out in still air--no air resistance--initially
and as a result feel a much greater sense of falling at the beginning
of the jump than when jumping from a plane.

In any case, you still won't see me 4000' up in an open box without my
parachute. ;-)

I just couldn't. It was just too easy. LOL

Well, there's releasing yourself from a tandem paraglider, too. You're not
*perfectly* still, but close enough as to feel no difference.

Why would anyone want to jump off a fully working plane (or balloon)???

Well technically, you normally jump *out* of the plane (although it's a
lot of fun just to hang on the outside and just let go ;-), but if you
really want to know, try it and find out. As I've heard it said:

Those that do can't explain. Those that don't can't understand.

and

If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming.

Actually, the love of falling is very common. People just don't
normally fall very far. Kids jump on beds and off rocks, people jump
off diving boards, on trampolines, onto haystacks and so on. Skydiving
just gives you the most time and the best view. ;-)

I did open myself up for this.   thanks for the self constraint. :)

I did ride in a hot air balloon a few years ago but not this year.

Last year the Army's parachute teams jumped out of hot air balloons  
that was cool.  Actually you have to just start falling before someone 
jumps out of a hot air balloon  or the loss of weight will pop it up at 
a very rapid rate very high up (considering they are already high up to 
begin with).

Most parachuting tragedies happen in the airplane's takeoff since they 
tend to overload them.
