I actually would have to disagree. I currently use the basic micro
products on my power mac g4 with softwindows and a usb to serial
adapter cable. I do also agree that they need more Macintosh
coverage, but rather than bashing, send them an email and have it
fixed. I use Parallax Stamps, have always used them! But at the
same time my projects are not brand name supported. I work on
nautical equipment and I have found that since this market is so
diverse and compatable, the compiler software from basicmicro works
(for me) better than what parallax has and the stamp is my choice,
Now will I try a Basic Micro ATOM? sure why not. It is my money and
my project, so what is the harm. Until now we have only known
Parallax for our stamp modules, in a way it all makes us stamp users
better because added features, commands, and support is what we are
looking for as end-users. It is easy to say I like Ford over GM, but
to say that Parallax has the best stamp is not a true sentence, we
have had nothing of much to compare to. So, I will and I know others
will try the new Atom. If Parallax is the best, we will know it. Then
all these discussions are over. Talk to you all soon.

as Basic Micro products and in all the correspondence with them I have
NEVER received an E-mail from a hotmail address all mail comes from an
address such as support@b... never fro a hotmail address so it
is probable that the message did not come from Basic Micro at all but
from someone else.

stamp problem. That corrected the problem. So Thank you again.
Sometimes Craig I think companies can catch alot of Smile by what one
individual does. My feeling is that every company may Smile off, or
make someone mad, this guy may have had a vendeta against Basic Micro
for something he feels they should've done. What a better way to get
the fires going then to go into the Competitors den and spark fires.
Bravo to Basic Micro for honoring such a ridiculous offer made, they
didn't have to but it keeps people happy, that shows good PR!!
Thank you to JIM at Parallax for his concern and personal email
regarding my Stamp Problem, Jim, I have it fixed now.
