Hello, my name is Alvin Moore, and I am a (mostly) lurker. I like to catch up on what's happening here, it seems more has been going on here than on info-LabVIEW lately. I have used LabVIEW a long time, since 1990, but haven't done much with the OOP stuff that is new in latest releases. I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1 for development; I have LabVIEW 8.5 and have looked at it some but am not at a good point to switch yet. I work for Corning Cable Systems, in Hickory, NC, as the in-house programmer for testing and instrumentation in R&D. We test new fiber optic cable prototypes before they go to production.
