"Lots of apps start to get converted to Java, very few get converted." <s> Seriously, I read story after story on the forums of people who have been banging away at .Net for 2 or more years and still can't create what they had in VFP. A friend did it with the help of a well known conversion company. After courses, consulting, and about 4 years, he had a product. It's probably a good job (he's a brilliant math guy), but 4 years. The emperor may have some clothes on, but they aren't covering all the parts they should (from a story/saying "The Emperor Has No Clothes").

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
