Could Telechart ever be re-written for Adobe AIR? That would make it platform-agnostic, allowing it to run under Linux and the Mac without a virtual machine installed. Telechart is about the only reason I keep Windows -- and Vista is so awful I've been tempted to ditch Telechart and move to Linux anyway. But I can't give it up. If something else came along that approached Telechart's functionality in LInux or on the Mac, I would seriously consider it. Are there any plans to make Telechart able to run on the Mac or under Linux?

TeleChart was written using Visual Basic, so it is pretty tied to Windows at present. I think a rewrite to Adobe AIR incredibly unlikely. In any case, we do not normally discuss or comment on future features, services or products until they are actually released or officially announced.

QUOTE (Bruce_L) TeleChart was written using Visual Basic, so it is pretty tied to Windows at present. I think a rewrite to Adobe AIR incredibly unlikely. In any case, we do not normally discuss or comment on future features, services or products until they are actually released or officially announced. Not discussing future products is precisely the problem. For example, I keep getting the e-mails about FreeStockCharts.com, It sounds great. The YouTube post looks wonderful. I go to your site to look and it requires installing MS Silverlight to view. Given the screwiness of Microsoft products in general, I'm really reluctant to install Silverlight on my Mac. Having to run Windows in emulation (Parallels) is already irritating enough. If you guys had mentioned up front that you were planning this, I'm sure you would have gotten a lot of feedback to please develop it on something else more universal- Adobe's AIR/Flash or JAVA. By the time you've developed your project, you're already committed to a company that many of us had hoped to be finished with. It's puzzling to me that Worden is so joined at the hip with Microsoft.You guys do world-class work. I just wish you'd do it on a Mac. Or at least on something platform-agnostic.
