Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] windows7 64bit and parallel port/Usb

2011-05-12 Thread Mark Lencioni
I have a sdr1000 with the parallel/USB cable and have installed win 7 64bit OS. 
Is there support for the usb to parallel port cable? If not, will a parallel 
port cable work in the 64 bit version of win 7? 

Thanks,
Mark Lencioni

I think we can understand your point, but for me, I would wear a flex 
Jacket/hat/Shirt, and proudly answer questions without pay to help the 
Flex community thrive, I want this company to be here long term, and 
word of mouth advertising is a great way to get the message to people at
 a small price. --just my .02c

I absolutely agree with you, I was just adding my .02 worth, I guess we just 
have different views on what is important to each of us. definitely not any 
kind of litmus test. but I have no problem with labels or advertising of the 
things I buy and love to use. Personal choice is a great thing! I really  
didn't want to imply that you didn't want the company to thrive (of course we 
want them too) I was just adding that I don't have a problem with it, Have a 
great Day!

Well, Mark (and anyone else who disagrees with me), I don't criticize others 
who wear advertising.  As I said, it is one of my idiocyncrasies.  I don't 
think, however, that it is quite fair to imply that because I wouldn't pay for 
Flex attire that I do not want the Flex community to thrive.  That's hardly a 
litmus test, wouldn't you agree?
