I was mostly just poking fun, as I'm a "two birds..." kind of guy (to a fault). =) I do feel that there is a lot more to a successful product than coders and testers though. And I really think CFML is a bang'n web language. Maybe if the site is "done", never to be modified or maintained, there's little direct benefit to a rewrite, partial or otherwise... *shrug* Resources being finite doesn't really change the ratio of bang:buck. =) ColdFusion isn't just a product. It's useful, too! I wonder (pure speculation), if "seeing" more CFML powered apps would somehow help sell more CFML engines, which would in turn pay for more CFML engine development? =)p There's a lot of ways to skin a cat, they say, and far be it for me to be telling anyone what to do. I just don't see it as an either/or type of deal, limited resources or no. I'm pretty good at rationalizing though. =) :Denny -- Music is a moral law.
