Probably both, but the latter is where I find the greatest interest.

I'd love to know more about the special interests of these .NET folks :) Seriously though, I don't think a .NET developer is any more or less of a programmer than someone that hacks away at shell scripts all day. Different tools for a different job. Heck, I think jsled is living in the stone age with his use of Emacs to develop Java apps, but he's still an alright guy :) > >> Café Scientifique - ??? >> Crash collective - ??? >> Lamb Alley - ???

Sure. I'd also throw in a few dollars for beer and pizza (or burgers, as the case may be) Kevin
