Another conversation today on the Newton forum:
Julio: There is a person who asked me to add him to the developer group, and I did it but he cannot read the forum. Does anyone know what else I need to do? His name is xxxxxxxx and he also uses darkbasic.
Me: Yeah, I talked to "xxxxxxxx" as well on MSN. But we do not use DarkBasic! We use BlitzMax. DarkBasic is an interpreted language that uses DirectX to draw 3D graphics. BlitzMax is a cross-platform object-oriented BASIC language with no graphics engine.
Julio: Sorry I meant BlitzMax. I do not know why I confuse the two.
Koom: I made many times the same confusion too hehe no idea why exactly.
