I wish VNI and RSI would get more active, but there's a fine line between responding honestly to queries, and advertising. There would be a strong temptation (especailly since the group is shared) to promote their products and bash the other guy's. I wouldn't mind seeing informative posts, like version/upgrade/new product announcements - if it were done in a low-key, tasteful manner. Also, there are occasionally questions here that really beg for a vendor response. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have gotten very good response and service from VNI's support team (support@boulder.vni.com). I'm sure RSI is as good. So I look to them for my technical/product questions, bug reports, etc., and look to this group for discussion about usage, tips, techniques, etc. |> May I suggest to spilt this group up into a IDL part and a WAVE part, |> or has this been discussed before? I wonder if there's enough volume to support this, especially for WAVE. I'd rather people just be a bit more explicit about which product they're using (when it matters), and leave things like this. -- These opinions are my own, but you may borrow them. ____________________________________________________________ _____ David Landers (214) 952-3910 M/S 8019 Texas Instruments landers@tsunami.dseg.ti.com 2501 W.
