These forums are not the only way to speak with Fred. Myself and many
others have conversed with him on the PureBasic IRC channel on a daily
basis, and he knows how much we appreciate his work. Take a look at some
of my posts here defending PureBasic and you'll see I am more than 100%
dedicated to the language -- to the point where others have called me such
things as a "Fred brown-noser" and so on. Where is the lack of respect?
Just because you might not see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. A lot of
respect and help goes on behind-the-scenes, and not on these forums.

I wasn't, and you totally misunderstood my analogy. Peace, dude.

Fred, are you really sure that you have to sleep?

Are we all sure that Fred isn't just an AI quietly coding the PB updates within some giant super computer somewhere, i mean after all who has ever seen a photo of him???

I eat Pizza with him and drunk a couple of beers in Paris...two years ago

i remember the good french cheese and redwine in september 2003 while meet him (and 2 other cool guys ) .

show-off's...

This is the first time i see this thread
The big secret on Fred is that he doesn't mind to learn new software and hardware systems. He seems to be not lazy for that, and that's very important to grow and go ahead.
Congratulations Fred

Not many people programs their own language.
Fred did, and I love it!
I hope PureBaisc get's realy popular and that Fred earns big money on it.
Way to go Fred!

LOL!

Is this our Fred?

The pic is from -> this <- page.

I thought all those late nights working on PureBasic would have aged him more! If that is Fred, he's young!

I donno, but this one is very cute ...

What is the IRC information again.. ? I've seemed to have lost it..

> Is this our Fred?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You've ruined the mystery!

Aww sorry! It may not be him! There must be at least 2 Freds in France!
