Yes, that's true, though you should be aware that this newsgroup doesn't
get much traffic any more. Most people have moved to either the
realbasic-nug mailing list, or the forums. (Both are accessible via the
REAL Software web site.)

That can be done, but it's a bit of work. I gave a presentation on this
topic at the last REAL World conference, but if you subscribe to RB
Developer magazine (http://www.rbdeveloper.com/),
I think you might find
an article on the topic in your first issue (not by me, but by Marc
Zeedar).

It's a lot of fun, and if I may be so bold, I think you'll also be
pleased with your move from the Mac to PC. Enjoy exploring your new
world, and don't be shy about asking for help whenever you feel confused.
Best,
