Indeed, this rule of thumb comes to mind. But to apply it, do so completely. For example, whether I move to .Net or Windows Vista is basically means I'm playing the same newbie role as I am in moving to Linux and Python (or Pearl, or Java). So, wouldn't it be better to move to something which is less likely to give me the "shaft" in the future? (e.g. as MS has given the "shaft" to VFP developers)? Also, one could argue that, due to its very nature, Linux is by a far margin the 'best known hell' as compared to MS Windows. :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
