If I wanted to do ruby programming I wouldn't think to do it in IRON. Not in the least. Same reason I wouldn't run an Oracle DB on Windows 200x. Maybe M$ got the same set of signals that I get form VS dev houses who are showing off Ruby/Rails apps these days? >> I know a local EX- >> evangelist who was working with M$ for the past 6+ years and was cut >> last fall due to customer changes.

You have adapted well and stayed ahead of the change as others have. You don't take it personally. So business changes that could have affected groups of people that were still put into effect. Kodak stopped making slide film. STOP THE WORLD! What is this business doing to those photographers? Business makes decisions for the business interest. Always has and always will. Fact of life and not sure why you think it is different. As the working individual you either adapt of become oil in a few million years with your other dead dinosaur friends. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ 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.
