Dear Sven,
Yes thanks Sven, I am aware that support for XP ends soon, thanks.
Informatively I've come from using an Apple IIe and Apple Soft and DOS 6.22
through IBM and XT's and W95 and .......to XP Pro...through Verbatim 5 1/4
inch
and on to to 3 1/4 inch floppies and you name it. 10 meg external HDD's
and 6205 chips were wondrous..!
I'm such a fan of the reliability and stable horsepower of XP that
I've purchased a new sealed copy of XP SP3, as backup.
I've just never had a crash Sven, so I guess just as you say, I've been
lucky.
As we speak I'm generating (simulating) 500 data files each file having 225
obs
from which I'll be generating eq A6.2 through to A6.14 Pyndick and
Rubinfeld.
My machine doesn't even blink at the job..
I wish you well, Sven. Work hard and thankyou very much for your post...

I agree XP should still be supported by gretl. However, you are aware
that official MS support for its own product ends in less than a year,
right?

Well, I guess you have been lucky...

Well I may be younger, but the first computer I used (not for work,
though) was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET, which was
even before the Apple IIe :-)

Me too. I remember (I can't really say "fondly") coding some
statistical routines in Basic on a PET with a cassette drive
and 8K of RAM.
