Jochen,
Thanks for the reply again. Just one more comment to this: Of course I understand the importance of the commercial aspects. However, sometimes it pays off to pioneer something and not to completely follow the mainstream behavior, which is by definition never of outstanding quality. In respect to NI products for the Apple Macintosh NI could certainly do much more to market the availability of their products for this platform. This would mean to take a lead into a domain which is regarded to be non-profitable by marketing people. It does not mean that something which is not guaranteed to be profitable now won't be in the future ---> See LabVIEW as such!
Please communicate some of these thoughts to the marketing responsibles at NI!
Thank you
