Do you have a license for Advanced Lexicogrification or is it
just a hobby?


I have a poetic license which I waft around on occasion. Otherwise,
it's purely hobbitical. /waft

Hey for twelve bucks a year, that ain't bad!
Or was that a fishing license? I forget.

E=MC(squared). It's the law. (Ask Uncle Al) Oh, sorry. You're
talking about acronymical software. My bad.

I heard recently that Al meant that literally.

All this time I thought he was just euphemizing.

Imagine my shock. I mean, _Damn_!

That's not too bad, but still... So, what upgrades/fixes did you get
for that fee?

I went from Rhino 2 to 4, so here are the big additions:

The ones I use most are the autocomplete command line, improved Boolean

I've noodled around with scripting but haven't done anything serious with it.

See, I played with Red Hat Linux for a few years, too.
I got *real tired* of sending them $170 every few months for support.


Grok that, in spades. Is that where you got the "the first taste is
free" leader?

Yup. "The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away."
