Hi, Luciano
All my English books from school ( I've kept All of them ...) tell the same :

I enjoy = I like

I do enjoy = I really like ...

Alain,

I'm sorry that you had such poor english teachers.

"DO" est simplement le verbe faire.

It's also used several ways. The difference between "I enjoy" and "I do enjoy" is subtle. The first mean that it's the way you feel about it usually, while the second mean this is the way you feel about it actually (this time, in this case). I agree that a loose translation can be "really", because it's really happening, but it's incorrect to say that it mean really. BTW really translated to French is "réellement"

Then, if you do really understand this, you will find that this is incorrect to say "Would you do enjoy..", while "Would you do me a favor to stop this" is correct.

J-P

I know one forum who have a 'improve your english' thread... not sure it this would worth to have it here

I know my own limits, on the other side... i 'think' everybody understand what i say anyways.

Even better, Darrel have it's own Canadian to English (or Mister_e to english) dictionnary

Lazy? maybe... this is why i pay someone to translate and correct my Help-files and documents

Anyways, i appreciate Trent's comment on Buyed VS. Bought. No problem at all.

PS: J-P as in Jean Pierre ?

Jean Pierre ...

To close the subject :

1) you take the "Harrap's shorter" Dictionnary to the DO page ( p.240 for my edition ...) move to the 2 Thirds of the examples and find :

" I do believe he is a thief : je crois VRAIMENT que c'est un voleur "
Equals : I really believe he's a thief


" he did go : Il y est BIEN allé "
Equals : he really went there


" do si down : allez vous vous asseoir ! "
Equals : Will you sit down !

" ... I do like tea : j'aime bien le thé "
Equals : I really like tea


What is against all the stupidities you are telling us !!!


Would you DO enjoy : Apprécierais-tu Vraiment ...
Equals : Would you really like ...?


2) you forget I exist.

3) you DO shut up : Tu t'écrases, à la fin !

THANKS

Alain

Alain, GrandPa is correct. But your English is actually quite good. Same goes for mister_e.

Agreed!

I know my own limits, on the other side...

Sadly, I can't say the same for everyone.

PS: J-P as in Jean Pierre ?

Yes, I'm Jean-Pierre, and I'm from Montreal too! (near Galerie d'Anjou)

P.S: On devrais peut-être se caler ensemble une bonne broue a la santé des Français un de ces quatres !!!

Originally answered by mister_e:
Variant of C/C++ and / Or assembler.

Mainly for multiformat audio, image processing, video. Pretty sure it's fast enough to generate color video without too much effort.

Since now i just updated some customer firmware and did some test. REALLY impressive, but... not something i would use daily.

Did you use BGA or LQFP?
How to mount BGA?

Norm

[mister_e]

I used both. Fortunately, i know someone in Montreal who can solder them for me with the right machine. I already tried with a heat gun... it worked.. but it's not something i would use for massive production.

There's still some BGA socket.. but... hum hum, a bit expensive.

see Mill-Max and Aries Electronics as starter.

Did you use some of the pins, or all and make a 6 layer board to accommodate all the via's required to connect?
