Sancho Pancho de la Mancha: âIf I wasn't falling out of my chair right nowâ.â I suspect you got a concussion when you fell off your chair. Better see a doctor. Make sure the doctor is not a FREEWARE doctor. Look on the bright side. The concussion must have improved your English! fst From: Johann Tienhaara [mailto:jtienhaara yahoo com] Thank you for the laugh Fred, this has been by far the funniest series of mails to the Dia list I've ever seen. If I wasn't falling out of my chair right now I would agree with you: Dia is a "rip-poff". Good luck tilting at windmills. Yours etc., Sancho Panza, Esq., O.B.E., Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical Institute of La Mancha From: Fred Teeboom <fredtee comcast net> A rip-off is a rip-off !!!!! âThis could be a good stuff for this month's 1sth...â You need to clean up your English typing, before you widely publish it in a USERâs FORUM. The gist of what I read is, that to obtain what I need I should read the source code and develop my own version? Huh???? I have a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in Computer Science, but I would not even begin to waste a minute to unravel the spaghetti code typical of Open Source Freeware. What you should feature in your FORUM is: âIf a vendor charges $14.00 for Freeware, not his own, on e-Bay, should he declare under the Product Description that this software is available free of charge, including the User Manual, for a couple of minutes of download time? No need to wait a week for a CDROM to arrive from England. And that the free download is a later version than the $14.00 version sent on a CDROM via USPS sneaker mail? Then there is the deception that Dia is a âsimplerâ version of VISIO? I downloaded a 60-day free trial of 2010 VISIO and I can tell you without reservation, Dia it is not even close! A rip-off is a rip-off !!!!!! Fred teeboom Nashua, NH |
