Re: Dissatisfaction With MPLAB

I agree with Jamie2 on many things, this... not being one of them. He actually admitted there were some good things about MPLab. I have no regrets when I formatted MPLab off RP2, (Zeroing all data, of course... (foul best)) to make space for Knoppix 3.8. First thing I did was reinstall IFILoader with Wine, and aside from some minor font issues it works fine. My next task is to get Eclipse to compile the code on my one and only iBook (2nd gen, Firewire 400, 366 mhz, _100 GB HD_, 5 hr battery (Modded, of course... not as much as it will be by the end of this summer... *evil grin*)) and once thats done... I will start an angry letter to IFI Robotics getting them to port the loader to the Mac. I have a USB to nine pin, whats the hold up?

Anyway... I think its great that people who have more imagination then I do can reinvent the wheel... im still stuck on a WiFi accessable Robot First Aid Station (Team 599)

(If you cant tell, I was distracted by my new PC catching fire, (Blasted thing... one of the reasons I like my mac so much) I wanted to get a lot more ranting against MPLab in... sorry guys. If someone wants to get a IRC chat going about this we can post the results, I just prefer IRC to forums because you are informed instantly when someone says something.)
