---------------------------------------------------------------- When you have full blown environments like java, C, pearl, ruby, python, markup du jour, it is hard to stay focused. When you add on that companies have taken on full blown systems that need tweaking and I say the likes of Oracle Financials, SAP, etc., then you become focused on that niche. Why do you constantly define the COMPANY as the most important aspect of the software or tool? I want the TOOL that does the job the best or one that gives me a completive advantage over my other competitors. .NET gives me both of those and that opens a lot of doors here in my community. If that weren't so I'd have found some other tool set. Seems that your only impressed by the components around a person and fail to see the human Ed. It sounds as juvenile as evaluating a person by the vehicle they drive or the shoes a woman is wearing. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ 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 Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
