hi guys
I have not donated anything but time to this, YET.
My purse is loaded with 2cents, tho.
U all know the expression, right?
In an email Wim said he was surprised I am not in the IT bizz.
I am still thinking I am no more than a hobbyist, a mere tinker.
Spent many years in forae, and some old friends think I am a guru.
I know different. I am but a tinker.
I feel humbled by my lack of understanding of how you guys do things.
I just saw 6.08.2 is up.
If I were a professional in IT, I'd prolly not have spent hours on this at home.
I also said to Wim that the guys in redmond should wise up. (sorta)
Because I currently have an indirect line to redmond development decicion makers staff, I can try show them where they must improve their product... No kidding, they do listen to public beta testers, and a main sub-idea of this MVP program is also to get them improve the products they offer.
Efforts like these (and yours, siginet) will attract attention by those in the need.
Stable products can be a godsend. Those in the need will notice.
I know IT geeks, they are often so"dazed and confuzed" that a side remark with a solution gets me a reaction like "HUH?".
This did happen. A week later, same two IT guys do some other chore, and I ask wether they looked it up.
the "fix" was not forgotten, and was rolled out. (in our NT4 and win95 days)
Anyway, I thought there might be bugs in AutoIt itself.
Long time ago, I wrote simple WP macros.
a tool to do that in a GUI was developed.
Man, that got me buggy and loopy macros.
You were born about that time, Wim. YEP. That long ago.
I am not freakingly geeky and not intelligent either, so I never learned programming.
But I can foresee a future where we have a Palm, and muse about the days only One blue-ray DVD was needed to boot for setup.
Your efforts are appreciated, let me make that known.
these were my 2cents for today.
and I will now listen to Led Zep...
