Hi everybody

(Hi Dr. Nick)

So I'm working on this app, actually, a new generation of about a half dozen apps.

The current version of these half dozen apps share framework libraries, and I use a handful of 3rd party utilities.

After all the years of writing and maintaining these apps, I'm going to replace them.

And I'm fairly convinced that the old way I did things, maximum re-usability, very strong reliance on data driven functionality, is the wrong way to do things.

I think that I'm not going to re-use any code between projects, and cut the 3rd party portions of the app mostly out of the picture, with the exception of Stonefield Data Toolkit, natch.

But that's what I'm thinking. Reverting to the old days of straight ahead code with very little frills and minimalist class hierarchies.

I think that in the end this will be easier to maintain over the next few years, and eliminate alot of the headaches that come with re-using code.

A major change of style for me, but I think my old habits and ideas about code are ripe for replacement at this juncture.

Thoughts?
