(The System/36 and System/36 became the AS/400.) Hey, if it uses a skill you have, and doesn't burn any bridges, it's probably good. Only negatives I can think of - you want to go back to CF and an interviewer says "if you're so into CF how come you went to RPG?" and the argument "how long has it been since you've been doing CF?" Sometimes you have to justify yourself and explain course changes... Good luck!! -Ben > I have a job offer pending for a position as an RPG programmer.
