:)  No, I'm not saying that.  I've been programming for long enough to know 
that no one can become "instantly profecient".  However, I once worked for a 
company that paid me to fool around with ASP for 1 week and then expected me to 
instantly port my Shopping Cart from PHP to ASP.  I was like... are kidding 
me?!!!

I have played around with REALBasic in the past, but at the time Revolution (I 
mean MetaCard) seemed more appealing because I was already familar with 
HyperTalk.  REALbasic's pricing structure is looking more and more appealing 
now, but call me stubborn, I don't like to give up on products unless it's 
absolutly necessary.
