... - or no purpose that can't be done with a CSV. I've heard it said that 99% of all the real work ever done in Excel can be done with a CSV file. I'm inclined to believe it.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. It's easy, well documented, millions of users for support and books full of cookbook solutions. It's the thought that the One True Path is the only way to go that's not good. There are almost always options. Similarly, there's not much that Photoshop can do that netpbm can't do for free. And for video not much that SUPER(C) can't do (via netpbm.) But SCRIPTING isn't commonly taught anywhere, only how to operate the commercial stuff. Point-click-ctrl-z-point-click is much easier than thinking a task through. And all the friggin -parameters- of the command line stuff -is- harder to remember than flipping through a few menus.
If it weren't for Bill and the Cohort of Control we'd all still be using DOS 3.2 and 80286 @ 20THz.
EDIT typo DELETE wrong information. How about an Arduino-CVSCSV library... hmmm..... There's got to be a CVS CSV API that can be adapted. Any of you nerds out there interested in trying this? So the image and database people have something to work with? link deleted
