Everybody has their interests. Even OSS programmers have interests, if not always of economical nature. I don't think Mr. Denk has any more reasons to "be pissed" with Metrowerks than you might have reasons to "be pissed" with DENX or Abatron. > You cannot repress people and tell them *oxymorons* or ninkampoops... > If you do the cost benefit analysis between BDI and Metrowerks debugger, > its the same.

Here is a slightly more objective one for you: BDI can use almost any UI that supports gdb, and there are quite a lot. Not only DDD.

Well, I suppose using a 10Mbps switch shouldn't cost much more than a 100Mbps hub, and you almost said it yourself, that it would be more efficient in a crowded network ;-) What I really wonder is what the choice between a switch and a hub has to do with "global technology trends". I detect an increasing amount of resentment in your words, and that is not good as far as my experience goes. Greetings, -- David Jander
