Sounds promising.  Personally I've no preference one way or the other - I've 
only ever used CF, but BD does everything I need CF to do (especailly with 
these apps).

It looks there there may definately be room here - the quote I got from our 
Architect is:

"we do websphere stuff over here... we'll do other technologies (CF on 
websphere, CF on Blue Dragon, CF on Puff the Magic Dragon, CF on Crack)  
whatever you folks want... just be aware we have to build training, all the 
time it takes to gain expertise, consulting etc into the SOW and Scope Document"

(Our architects are very good but know naught of the shift key or 
punctunation.)  ;^)

Too true.  I've personally been using CF 6.1 for a long while now, but have 
never been able to convince the enterprise.

I very well might early next week.  I'll drop you a line.
