Very well stated Greg! What if our physician continued to practice medicine using the techniques of the past. I would imagine everyone here would be in search of a new Dr. I don't like to jettison acquired knowledge any more than the next person. However, to remain viable in this industry, I have no choice in the matter. Sure, there will always be those who claim they can ride the old stuff to retirement -- hence the end of their career.
P.S. I received my Pocket PC last night via FedEx. I'm clearly glad the IT developers who wrote this "kick butt code" are striving to remain current. Now if I can just figure out how to place a call with it! Scott On 3/20/07, Greg Reddin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I haven't spent enough time with it to start "thinking in Ruby". Sorry, I'm not trying to push Ruby on you guys, I just want to be > honest about my experience. Anybody who thinks they'll be using the current technology for the rest of their career is (one way or another) pretty close to the end of their career :-) Greg
