It's true. You need a USB dongle to use the IDE/compile code. You don't need the USB dongle past the HEX file generation, though ;) I don't see this as a problem, but I guess others might. Being able to get another dongle/license for an extra $30 seems quite reasonable to me. -marc On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 10:57 AM, Bob Axtell wrote: > ru12 wrote: > > Jack Smith wrote: > > > >> Swordfish.
