Common guys this is not the right way to ask help. Understand that if the
guys out there weren't helpful TINYOS wouldn't have made this far. Sometimes
people are busy with their own stuff. As we must know the people working on
TinyOS are working full time on their jobs too. Be patient and keeping
looking for your answers on the archives and I am sure most of the problems
what we face might have been answered before. So keep faith in this forum,be
patient and stop cribbing about your questions not being answered.
I apologize on behalf of all the TinyOS community to the great ppl out there
who help us.
Thanking You
