I have been looking at the BASIC Stamps from Parallax, and got into trouble
with their program. It was a 3.6meg download, then it went out and
downloaded another few megs without my permission, didn't install where i
told it to, it wrote a lot of stuff to the registry, and after i cleaned all
that up,
there was nothing left to run,, and they won't reply to my emails. Can you
suggest an alternative to Parallax? For instance, can't we program the
stamps with Eu?
Thanks,
Kat
