Two things (Well three things) : 1- thanks Tim Golden for translating the financial thingy! 2- I'm just back from the pc-soft site, and what do you know, I saw a download menu (for upgrades), went there and was told (Cut'nPaste here) CAUTION: To download these modules, you must own a registered copy of WinDev 10 "English" or "International" version. Otherwise, you are not authorized to download the modules below. - Now I don't own a copy so it wouldn't be usaful since it's an upgrade, but you know what? I hate this tone of voice ("you are not authorized to ...") but that's ok, it just my feelings. So I go to read testimonials, and wow playmobil, cool stuff - lots of prfetty playmobil pics too, even 2 screen shots, excepts that even at 300%, you can't make out what they are about. OK, so I'm a kid at heart - let's go see the John Deere testi - Nice pics of tractors and such, another unreadable screen shot... Eh!, think I, this is promotional stuff, so its *normal* promotional stuff, lets that a look at the beast since there is a big red "Download TRIAL VERSION" button by the windev 10 paragraph -so I click and get a "To download the WinDev trial version, please fill the form below: " message, hummm but there is a download button at the top of the form and then line annoncing optional infromation, so I click again without filling the info, thank you, so now I'm downloading windev 8 - that's before I cancel the job... hummm again, with all the nice people here and elsewhere, at Microsoft, and Oracle, and Sun ;-) that give out so much to to try and get there technology known - and I'm NOT talking about the OpenSource region of the world - It just makes me wonder, why can't you have an opinion and disagree with your boss ... But then again, maybe your boss wrote those testimonials on another life! 3-Re-reading some posts of this thread I'll permit myself an ultimate, if third point: "...What is cool about WinDev is that the language is closely embedded with the GUI. " makes for great MVC apps I'm sure. Jean-Marc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
