Dear List, I don't really think it's totally off topic from this list, because it can also be LabVIEW related. >From what I have read recently, I feel people are more tolerant about so called "freeware", but notice not all freeware are really "free" even it says "free", it's only free for personal use, not commercial...so how many real value is it just because it's called "free"? On the other hand why would people request freeware while they would like to charge for what they work for? Sure we would appreciate real freeware and thanks for it, but there is no need to depreciate non freeware, I would have understand if these people are from some non-profit organization like university, but people from industry they should accept non freeware just as with freeware if they don't provide free service themself. Regarding the ad, I like to see some short ad in this list. I like to get notified about new things in LabVIEW world, so that I know one day if I need this feature, there is a way to go rather than sitting in the dark. There are too many information in internet, but there are only few places to hang out for me like this forum, so I would like to get notified here to make me feel it's powerful to work with LabVIEW, because you can do so many things...or would you rather not knowing things that is capable with LabVIEW? Hope this makes sense. Irene
