OH yeah.. I completely agree. And (using hind-sight, which of course is ALWAYS 20/20) it would have been better to keep CFMX on the newer boxes only, and not upgrade any others. Moving customers who wish to use the new functionality (with full disclosure and disclaimers) as they will.

I have to differ with | you a bit though. | | Internet languages (html, javascript, etc) are awful | sloppy. It makes them hard to read/debug. Coming from a | C/Java stand point they are too forgiving. If you look at the | trend of the internet (xhtml, xml, etc), you'll notice that | code tightening is where we are going. | | Code often runs better when it is uniform, predictable, | and structured. | | It's a bit painful, but I think it will help cf run | faster, among other things. | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Lee Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:54 AM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: RE: LONG time CF Supporter - About ready to dump CF! | | | Hey Stace! | | I understand. And with this, it's most likely the same type of issue. | | One of the things, however, that sticks in my craw (as it | were) was that during the months leading up to CFMX's | release, we were told OVER and OVER again that existing code | would work well in CFMX, with little, if any, changes. I | heard that bell ring in the tower more than 20 times, that I | can count on one hand. <grin> | | Yet here we are with "locking causes this", "change code to | do this or that", "fix up the code". Uhm... ? So am I to | believe that the chant | was false? Telling my clients to go back and "fix" their | code is like | saying.. | | "Uhm.. Sorry you can't park that car here, it's BLUE!" | "But you told me to paint it blue!?!?" | "I know, but now we're back to only RED cars. Sorry.. | Go paint it BLUE!" | | It's more than just an "inconvenience", to say the least. If | I switch back to 5, all the touting I did about CFMX's | behavior and power was for naught. And even worse, many of | the CF clients may just opt for ASP, PHP, etc., just cuz they | don't believe me telling them "Well.. But don't worry, it'll | be fixed. Really!" | | | | -----Original Message----- | | From: Stacy Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | | Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:33 AM | | To: CF-Talk | | Subject: RE: LONG time CF Supporter - About ready to dump CF! | | | | | | Hi Lee, | | | | Out of 3 incidents I've opened relating to CFMX..I only got | dinged for | | 1 of 'em...cause it was an environment issue on our end. | | | | Cheers, | | | | Stace | | | | -----Original Message----- | | From: Lee Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | | Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 12:10 PM | | To: CF-Talk | | Subject: RE: LONG time CF Supporter - About ready to dump CF! | | | | Jesse, | | | | Yeah..
