Rod,
Before long we'll be able to repeat your previous dotNET assessment exercise looking at data munging rather than painting applications and load times for a guestbook app. It'll be interesting to see who dons the "scorned prophet" mantle when that day comes. ;-)

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
