Scott, Thanks a whole bunch for the offer. It is amazing for how long Tom Coradeshi ran info-labview pretty much flawlessly for years. I remember when I joined, way back in 1992 which is 12 years ago. Yeah, and these Macs do run fine for a long time. To me it seems a logic move from Igor to Igor, even though (as is the case with many good pieces of software, aka LabVIEW) Igor is now available for the politically correct platform too. Once it will be successful there, people begin to think it's Windows only.
Take the stand Scott, I am looking forward to receiving info-labview for many more years to come. Hey and a real big hand for Tom Coradeshi our silent and humble list manager for more than 12 years.
