thanks Bruce. I hope you get your pc straightened out (I really have no idea how you made a pc with 128 mb of RAM work at all!).
It's also great that you got several apps going; I know everyone is appreciative every time another free app is added. good luck, Chip -----Original Message----- From: BT [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: change in scripting classes Hi Chip, Thanks for the classes. I could not get on Team Talk while my computer was down, my old computer had too many issues and one of them was 128 megs of ram, not much space for anything but crashes 50% of the time... Your classes were extremely helpful and gives a person the chance to over-come the shock of a new way of program and that it is not as hard as it seems. In my future there will be questions to ask as I get more involved in scripting. My Cuckoo Clock app is my only app and will build on it or add my version of a Music Box or Juke box, but since that is being done already, I may just leave it inside my Cuckoo clock in the future. I wish to thank you not only for your class but your help when I got back to programming several years ago when you responded unselfishly when I had a question about which screen reader program was the best to use for Access 2003 and such; getting me started back on programming outside of Python... I was wondering how much time and stress the class was causing and your response speaks volumes and wisely, for family is first. Thanks again Chip, you are a God send! Sincerely Bruce A.
