Rob, thanks a million for your very helpful reply - it has really clarified things for me :)
I am writing a server based system but, in addition to the web based front end (Rails), I want a GUI application which talks to the server. I am also wanting to play around with GUI programming. I know C# is probably easier in some respects, but I have really fallen in love with Ruby and would like it to do some prototyping and for quicker development of some things. And also just to play with! Thanks again for your timely reply - I am sat here all day trying to make my mind up which way to go and you have saved me hours of reading!
