He's referring to the fact that Parallax is forcing us all to stay in the dark ages by using a closed (mileage / definitions may vary) tokenizer, which uses one of the most limited embeded system programming language in the world. If we had access to the Basic Stamp's assembly language level, there'd be a lot less of a problem, fundamentally, with using a Basic Stamp as the programming interface to the control system.....

And after that post, someone corrected me, and I said Ok.
the tokenizer.dll is very horid, but it also gets the job done when needed....look at rbbayer's programs. Some use the tokenizer.dll (atleast 1 of them).
