LSC Haters?  "Patchy Job"...wha?  Huh?   Like...umm, err....

_What_ are you talking about?  THINK C is one of the best thought out, best
running products (and certainly the best C compiler) yet written for a personal
computer!  Bar none.  I have been using 3.0 for a few weeks, and I have
used the original (LSC Classic?) since day one.  I do most of my development
in it...

Can you name (seriously) a better development package for the Macintosh?
'ever used Mac C from Consulair?  How about the wonderful support and
timely updates from Aztec...?    

I have used _almost_ every C compiler made for _almost_ every micro made.. and
no where will you find a better made, better integrated system.  In fact,
just about the only thing that would make THINK C and even better product
would be a source code control system, for silly people like me who sometimes
make radical changes to routines without backing them up first

If your complaint is about the 2Mb memory requirement, then write your
congress-critter, tell [her|him|it] to do something about that gawd-awful
anti-dumping agreement that has created an artificial shortage of DRAMs...
don't get upset with THINK because they create a good product that needs memory
in order to make your debuging easier... 
... Or, stick to using MacsBug.. its still a perfectly good debugger.

			Hmph!  So There!  
No flames...I'm up to my ears in adb in another window..I couldn't take it. :-)
