To: Panorama 6 Users Date: September 30, 2018 Subject: Retiring Panorama 6
The first lines of Panorama source code were written on October 31st, 1986. If you had told me that that line of code would still be in daily use all across the world in 2018, I would have been pretty incredulous. Amazingly, the code I wrote that first day is still in the core of the program, and that specific code I wrote 32 years ago actually still runs every time you click the mouse or press a key in Panorama 6 today.
Of course Panorama has grown by leaps and bounds over the ensuing years and decades:
Panorama 1.0 was first released for 68k Macs in November 1988. Panorama 2 and 3 greatly expanded the functionality, user interface and programmability.
In 2000, Panorama 4 added native PowerPC support, and also was the first version of Panorama for Windows PC's.
Panorama 5.0 added support for OS X (using the Carbon API's), as well as full menu customization and the ability to extend the programming language.
In 2007, Panorama 5.5 introduced Panorama Server for multi-user and web based applications.
Finally, in 2010 Panorama 6 introduced native Intel support on the Mac.
Along the way Panorama was highly reviewed in major publications, won awards, and gained thousands of very loyal users. It's been a great run, but ultimately there is only so far you can go with a technology foundation that is over thirty years old. It's time to turn the page, so we are now retiring the "classic" version of Panorama so that we can concentrate on moving forward with Panorama X.
If you are still using Panorama 6, you may wonder what "retiring" means for you. Don't worry, your copy of Panorama 6 isn't going to suddently stop working on your current computer. However, Panorama 6 is no longer for sale, and we will no longer provide any support for Panorama 6, including email support. However, you should be able to find any answers you need in the detailed questions and answers below.
The best part of creating Panorama has been seeing all of the amazing uses that all of you have come up with for it over the years. I'm thrilled that now a whole new generation of users are discovering the joy of RAM based database software thru Panorama X. If you haven't made the transition to Panorama X yet, I hope that you'll be able to soon!
Sincerely,
Jim Rea Founder, ProVUE Development
Kino Erotika 2012
The year 2012 was a historic period for provocative cinema at major international festivals. Events like the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival became battlegrounds for critics and audiences debating the line between art and obscenity.
Kino Erotika (2012) is an evocative short art film that blends eroticism with arthouse sensibilities to explore desire, vulnerability, and the cinematic gaze. Running approximately 12–18 minutes (typical for festival shorts), the film uses minimalist dialogue, carefully composed imagery, and a deliberate pace to create an intimate, contemplative mood rather than straightforward titillation.
Unlike the grainy, flat lighting of 1990s VHS erotica, 2012 films featured (blurry backgrounds) and available light. This gave the intimate scenes a documentary-like realism. However, the drawback was the "digital coldness." Many film purists complain that 2012 titles lack the organic warmth of 35mm film, but defenders argue that the high-definition clarity brought a new level of voyeuristic intimacy. kino erotika 2012

The erotic cinema of 2012 proved that intimacy on screen, when handled with artistic care, serves as a powerful mirror to human emotion, vulnerability, and societal taboos. It bridged the gap between the underground cult classics of the 20th century and the highly stylized, mainstream prestige television shows of today. Whether through intense historical dramas or quiet contemporary character pieces, the films of this era remain a testament to a time when cinema was unafraid to be bold, beautiful, and deeply provocative.
