I heard tonight that Apple has serious problems keeping their experienced
soft-heads and that ResEdit, in particular, is in deep trouble.  So what
else is new .....  and, no doubt, it is a lot more fun to write new and
innovative software from scratch rather than maintaining existing Mac-code...
there certainly is no fame and glory there, but it's a living and should
be a worthwhile experience for "new kids on the block".  However, there is
no doubt in my mind that Apple (and all "the rest of us") will suffer from
the exodus of old hands from Apple ...

PS: this is only a worthless rumor and speculation and does not deserve
	more than a shrug of your shoulders and an "oh, yearhhh?!"

I would love to try to maintain ResEdit for a year or two, if anyone
out there is listening.... :-)

I have seen no 'exodus of old hands'.  Turnover has looked rather light
to me...  but what do you expect from 'worthles rumor and speculation'.
