Besides, all you purists finally have a valid reason for going back to NOTEPAD. :-) On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Douglas Knudsen <[email protected]>wrote: > lol. > > Charlie, I think its also the changing development practices too perhaps. > The project minded approach with direct ties to version control in the IDE > ad local PC based development is becoming predominant.
