  1. Our Field support Technicians are receiving new laptop computers. They are all Windows 7 64 bit laptops. We have a bit of a dilemma.... We have changed to Siemens PLC's... so, the 90-30 PLC's are becoming few and far between. Our old laptops (Windows XP) had LM90 instaled on them and it worked out quite well... but not so much on the new ones... My question is.... Is there a version of LM90 that will work natively in 64 bit Windows 7, or will these all have to be upgraded to Proficy? There are about 40 laptops total... We do not want to set all of them up with a dual boot system and compatibility mode will not work (16bit vs. 64 bit)

  2. cmoore73..... My name is Chip Moore......"cmoore" and "73" is used in amateur radio meaning "a friendly word between fellow operators" dating back to the old telegraph days where short and sweet was the name of the game. I have been a licensed amateur radio operator for 22 years. I earned my first license at the ripe old age of 10. so.... the full meaning is .... "a friendly word from chip moore"
