RE: NB 10 beta 21

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I followed Robert's video, but there turned out to be a big
downside: NB people don't know how to support it, given the
modifications. So I went back to the more "stock" version, and
have had fewer problems. Given the speed of modern hardware, you don't
really need to strip NB down.


I'm thinking it's a lot easier to transition into the not-quite-familiar
NB world (keeping my Xy kbd file of course) than to try to grapple with
Word or whatever.

I had asked about this from time
to time, with not much in the way of answers.  Even though

RH crafted that video guide some time ago on making various adjustments
to render NB more

work-alike (and look-alike ?) to Xy, I made the assumption that this
might well be out of date

by now, and no longer having sufficient relevance insofar as XPL or U2
were concerned --

particularly considering all the NB development that has taken place
since then.  NB must

be paying much more attention to other matters, and far less to legacy
XPL support.


If this is something on his radar screen, I hope that some time after the
dust settles on all

this RH might be updating that guide, especially in regard to
U2.


At the moment, this won't greatly affect my specific and limited use of
NB.  But down the line,

and as a theoretical replacement or successor to Xy4, it likely
would.

 That's my question as well, and the

 reason I have not installed NB betas,

 having purchased 10 when it was first announced, and am

 waiting for the full

 release. NO XPL or limited U2 would give me pause.
