Ouch! I usually try not to slam the door on my way out, not just because it's likely to hit me in the a$$, but 'cause I hate having to meekly crawl back in at some later date. Derek: so long and thanks for all the fish. It's been a fun ride. I wish you the best in mastering your new set of tools. Thanks for what you've contributed. > I'm amazed > at how well .NET is just working-- I don't spend more than half my day > trying to work around stupid limitations and bugs(C0.05's, graphics > glitches, etc.) as I've often done with VFP. "It's the poor craftsman who blames his tools..." even though it's a natural inclination to do so. For example, I've been struggling with Ruby on Rails for a few months now. (Luckily, there's lots to do on this project, so I've been helping out with CSS, UI design, project management and Javascript while working through my learning disability... and learning from the maestros.) The language is stilted to my mind, an ugly way of going about things. Reminds me of my experience with Perl. Python, otoh, seems to flow much more naturally. I think it has to do with mindset and attitude, so that some tools just fit your hand better than others. To each their own.
