No I am not cowering in fear of the next batch of outbursts.
Just thought I would mention one of the old legacy problems that Windows
(XP) has annoyed me with again today. In no way is this a criticism of
SpecLab.
Yesterday I moved round my Grabber Computers and set up for ZEVS RX. Oh
no that's another outburst subject, what a wonderful tolerant group this
is where one is not allowed to show an interest in anything but CW.
I closed and saved all SpecLab instances on my LapTop which had a new
clean installation of WinXP and SpecLab 2.78 b05. I noted that every
instance of Speclab had a fully working Plotter when I started them up,
beautiful.
Today I started up the instances 1,2 3, fine. 4, one of the instances
that is using a Plotter had no "ink in the pens". Wolf and I know this
problem, we have discussed it, I know the workarounds, it just causes me
a bit of frustration.
The thing is computers and computer O/S should not have 'maybe' states
they should not make mistakes, I cite the Jumbo Jet coming in to land
full of passengers again, "this is your Captain Speaking the computer
has crashed and we are about to".
