It depends: I would not consider it "illegal" :-) :-) :-)
I'm a developer myself and love to work in this kind of environment - when
one has control over things and understands exactly what is happening.
(as opposed to, say, the Windows environment where all is foggy. I mean,
look at the problem with the USB version of the IR Tower - it took a lot
of trials in all the possible envs and settings in order to draw a
reasonable
conclusion and even then, there are no solutions, but only workarounds.
But I digress - this mailing list is not the place for this kind of
polemics.
:-) :-) :-)
Best regards,
Jean
