To the last 2 posts... you get what you pay for!! No question... and please don't forget that free software supports the sale of 'MY' hardware... be careful... no disrespect to the freebies out there... but you do it for a reason!
I worked for an Industrial software vendor in the late 80's. Microsoft has sold more software In the time it has taken me to type this message (even with 9 fingers!! - right Walt!!!) than the leading HMI vendor sold in the whole year!!!!!
That’s why... and by the way the support burden of the industrial guys is painful... seems that if someone pays 3000 bucks for software they are entitled to a 10 hour phone call...
Really!!!! Its about economies of scale... and function. Whatever you use - pay it... and be happy about it.
Wanna go back to the days of sealed terminal keyboards, cassette tapes, and no editing???
Sorry had a bad day! Happy Thirstday to all...
