Hi James,
Its not all gloom and doom! I love the new software, and I think I may well get used to having only one board per platform (the old categories weren't perfect anyway ;)).
The sole complaint I have is the loss of access to the old board's content. This database of information is a highly valuable resource - indeed for some users it is the main reason they visit PDAStreet. For Psion users especially (given Psion's poor support these days) it was rapidly becoming a primary source of information.
As a programmer I am aware that it is no small task to create a new 'search-only' interface to the old system (not to mention the hardware resources that would not be freed up if it were kept running). However, I think the inherent value this content adds to the site is a compelling reason to consider making it available.
yan
P.S. Thanks again for the new software - its brilliant!
