#150005 - re SILabs
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Tried to download and run the SiLabs thing, it was an outrageous 7MB installer to install 15MB directly into the root without asking; but those 15MB can be packed by a stupid zip into 4MB... I know, I know, "broadband" and "who cares" are the keywords of today, but where's the engineer/programmer prudence? :->

a) why 'tried'?
b) I have the impression that the SILabs toolmakers are a few fries short of a happy meal, I guess that is the reason for the enormous size (what is the size of 'code' generated by a "GUI generator"). When communicating with SILabs, I (when I forget) get a reply "sorry our server will not let us have .zip files" so that is, probably, the reason it is not zipped.
