Re: Excel-RS232 via Cheapcomm: Where?

In article <LovKi.9066$JD.147@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Joerg says...
I am not a fan of .NET. It seems to have serious backwards compatibility
issues. Case in point: New scope SW came, must have .NET. Installed 2.0,
did not work. Inquired -> Must use 1.1 because 2.0 is not compatible.
Great. <shaking head>

That appears to be Microsofts latest approach to solving version
dependancy issues. Just run a separate copy of every version. So if
you have a program using version 1 and another program using version 2
you get both copies in memory.

It appears they've given up on the idea of actually getting it right. I
don't know if it's a reasoable approach but it sure rubs the wrong way.

Just in case you were wondering why disk and memory requirements keep
climbing w/o bound.
