MW Ron has left the building
Ron L
Friday, January the 13th is my last day with Metrowerks/Freescale I am
leaving with many regrets not the least of which is meeting so many Mac
developrs and being able to call them friends.
I want to apologize for not being around for the past month. I got
pulled off of everything I was doing in order to fix a problem someone
else created. It was a satisfying task but it took all of my time and
effort so PowerPlant and chatting online suffered. News on Powerplant
in a different thread.
Also, I want to thank the thousands of Mac Developers for making this
such a satisfactory job for the past almost 12 years. I wish the last
two years would have been better for Mac developers as the company focus
changed and the desktop tool budgets were cut then reinstated then cut.

Thanks for all your hard work over the years, Ron, both you and
CodeWarrior will be missed (XCode still drives me batty).
This is truly the end of an era.

Thanks for all the all the hardwork and support over the years Ron. All
the best to you in wherever you end up.
And it's an end of an erra for the Mac with the demise of CodeWarrior
and all Mac products will suffer for it goign forward (?? backwards).
XLoad is such a steaming pile of fecal matter by compariosn for
usability, stability and code execution (a 100% perfromance hit on my
Altivec code versus what CodeWarrior generates on G4 or G5 Macs).

Thanks for all your help (and patience) over the years Ron.
I hope your next employer realises how lucky they are to have you on
board and treats you accordingly.
Good luck,

hopefully i'll see you again since Motorola invested a big chunk of
cash in OQO.
Thanks Ron!

Thanks for all the help over the years.
Maybe the RealSoftware dudes can hire you, assuming you still have
energy left for an online life.
We all appreciate the struggles over the last few years, hope you can
afford a well-earned and long holiday!

Good luck where you land, Ron. I have always appreciated your personal
integrity, however bumpy the road.

from home, a single person company with no prograaming peers to call on
when things go wrong. But when they did go wrong a quick search of
comp.sys.mac.programmer would usually find that someone else had the
problem and MWRon had already provided the answer. When I did find my
problem was unique, I posted and you responded with the answer and got
me going again.
I will miss your help very, very much.
This truly is a Friday the 13th.

It's actually been a 2005 the 13th (except for Apple stockholders.)
I was in the same place (one man shop) for many years, and Ron made a huge
difference to me as well. So long, big guy.
Paul

with all the gripes too (most of which weren't directed at you).
Freescale really doesn't know what they're losing.
I wish you the best in whatever you do next. Good luck and thanks
again!

Hi Ron,
Long time reader - emailed you a few times over the years and you have
always been a great help.
I can't tell you how many times I Googled the CodeWarrior lists with MW
Ron as
part of my search string to get the straight story.
Sad day indeed but I'm sure it is the best thing for you going forward.
BEST OF LUCK,
Tim Osborn

Hi Ron:
All the best to you. I used CW when it first came out circa 1993/94 if
I'm not mistaken.
Cheers.

Ron,
I don't check this group regularly, so I am late here.
I hope you still get to read this somehow.
So far I have been dealing with more than half a dozen
C++ compiler/library vendors, MW being among them since
CW5. I have run into many bugs with all those compilers
and got to know so many bug report systems and support
persons, I don't even want to try to count them. To say
you stood out from the crowd would be an understatement.
Up to that day, I have yet to find a vendor (be that a
3-person or a multi-million Dollar company or an open-
source community) which is even just half as responsive
as you were. There were times when we debated whether
you actually are a real person. IMO Jim said it best:
"Ron single-handedly humanized a corporation to the
mass of its customers." I envy the guys who will be
able to make use of your skills.
Good luck to you!

Coming in pretty late here, but I just wanted to add my thanks for your
efforts to that of all the others. My first real development on the Mac
was with CW 9 Gold and I've been following the newsgroup for as long as
I can remember. You've been a great help to me both directly and
indirectly, through responses to others. Thank you very much. I wish you
all the best with your new position.
