I know. If I can't get used to clauses being in a different order I should take up a different line of work.

Have read a little about the ability to query against something other than tables but haven't gotten my head around it yet. I's sure the solution to that is the usual one: work with it, not just read about it.

In this sense, LINQ succeeds, because you're basically using the same syntax (or very very similar syntax) regardless of whether you're querying against a database, or a collection, or XML, etc.
