[sword-devel] .Net/C# and Sword

[Trandahl, Steve]

Those are excellent points. I should have specified that you can only
*download* them for free until November. And I have been using
SharpDevelop and the free .Net runtime on my work laptop. Visual Studio
(even the Express editions) won't run well on an older machines.
Requirements = 600Mhz processor and 192MB RAM. Recommended = 1Ghz and
256MB.

Being able to work in C# is a plus for me and removes one of my excuses
for not participating in SWORD. Pray that God would guide me as to how
to spend my time.

I forgot the most important part of the FAQ.

12. 	Do customers who acquire the Visual Studio Express products
during the free promotional pricing period have to pay after the first
year if they want to continue to use them?
	

No, as long as you download Visual Studio Express on or before November
7th 2006, you will not have to pay for it.
