Powerbasic is upgrading

[Theo Gottwald]

Today i got a Mail from Jim @PB and he write me that they are upgrading about employees.

Hi Theo,

I saw your message last week, and ...  I do hear what you are saying.  I have very little time with my current responsibilities to actually spend time on our forums. 
We just picked up a couple more employees, and hopefully they can give me more free time to spend on our clients.

I definitely agree with you about posting a face on our forums, and I have tried to do just that the past few days.

Sounds good to me. Jim writes that they are "Upgrading the staff".

[Theo Gottwald]

Sorry for that Jim. Meanwhile i know why there is no History.txt and there are good reasons for that which i can't tell you :-).
But ... I have heared they are hiring very qualified personal as you see above.
Lets give them more time ... PB ist still working really good.
So no need to change (at least for me).

There's some secret reason that they didn't provide release notes for an update to their software? Really? Did those release notes also happen to include the plans for a new hydrogen fusion reactor, and they just didn't have the time to redact all of that classified information before publishing the update?

Could be that they are not entirely sure what all the updates were.  Bob started on 10.04 at least by June 2012 and probably earlier.  I guess by the time he died, the update was just about finished.  I have always thought the compiler was a Bob only thing and his tracks may not have been clear, which a logical path of disclosure would be vagueness so not to expose lack of control of the situation.  I imagine that the PB crew took the best Bob build they could find and wrapped it into the installer and pushed it out the door which actually looks to be a fairly involved process.  With this being the first one without Bob running the ship, I can see were just this would take all their concentration.

Actually I thought when the lights went out at the PB store, the reason for the silence and leaving everyone in the dark was that Bob's system was locked down and he only had the keys. My understanding was that he was overly paranoid and thinking everyone was out to take his BASIC kingdom away. Tom must have done a number on Bob's head when he ran off with Paul's stuff and tried to compete. I bet Bob wouldn't take a bathroom break without locking his system down first. Who really knows what'is going on with PB. Only time will reveal the truth.
