Of course, if Tom exclusively uses Linux or OS X, then the IDE isn't an option at all, without an emulator or some other hack...   Unfortunately, FlexBuilder 2 is a resource dog... I had to upgrade my machine to 2gig's of ram just for it to be usable. This poor laptop now runs (when I'm coding):   FB2 Dreamweaver (sometimes) ColdFusion MySQL SQL Server 2000 IE Firefox   Now, let's say I'm on a Mac... that means I'll be running one less server (SQL Server), but still the rest. How am I supposed to run Parallels on top of all that just to run FB2? I'd need a machine maxed out at 4gigs of ram :)   Shan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Reynolds Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 10:23 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [flexcoders] Re: Answer to the most frequent problem... Tom, You need to give yourself an hourly rate and then ask yourself how much money the IDE will save you. The effort involved in not using the IDE could end up costing you more in the long run. I do think the charting is just a nice to have, and people will release their own cheap/free charting components so you can save yourself even more money by not going for that option. 2 years from now when somebody releases flexClipse (tm) free IDE then this may be a different conversation.:) gotgoose09 wrote: > > It's so much easier with Flex Builder though. :) Until something free > with Flex code completion comes out I'd rather use Flex Builder. > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com > <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Tom Chiverton <tom.chiverton@...> > wrote: > > > > On Thursday 27 July 2006 16:30, Shannon Hicks wrote: > > > Download the trial versions of Flex 2, or go buy a retail copy > ($749 with > > > charting) or an educational copy ($79 with charting). > > > > I've a better idea. > > Download the free SDK and don't pay anything.
