-
- No. For out last project, we looked at OI (Solbourne). We decided instead
- to take an intrinisix based approach, and implemented out software with
- widgets. Our latest project, currently in development, uses Galaxy instead.
- We learned from our last mistake :-)
-
- Galaxy has been a boon to us. Our productivity using Galaxy has *soared*
- above our productivity using OLIT/Motif. And, we can run on Windows!
