What do you expect from a field who rarely looks back more than 2-3 years. It is amazing how many academic/tech journals report new ideas that have just been invented ... that of course where discussed back in the 60-70s ;) Considering that it is mainly driven by buisness interests and "hackers" I can't see it maturing any time soon ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
