Hi everyone,

this is my intro for the Oberon/F mailing list.
My name is Roger Waldner and I work for Siemens Switzerland in Zurich. I am
working as a software engineer in a group which is responsible for
Interactive Video Services.

I had my first contact with Oberon during my education at ETH Zurich. In
1990 we were forced to use the Ceres Workstation running the Oberon System
on it. The first four weeks it was really hard to see the concepts of the
system and the special looking GUI.

But from then on it was a real pleasure to work on this Oberon
language/system platform.

Now I work for Siemens and no chance (yet) to use Oberon in a real project.
But privately I use Oberon/F to check out all the possibilities it offers.
The most impressive feature to me is portability. The most useful part of
Oberon/F is (IMHO) the extensible framework.

So friends, keep this mailing list alive!
