>Then why do I see the same tired crap in the current periodicals???

Why do you think its at all related? If noone has time to write articles and isntead write applications (which is teh exact opposite of the .NET scene) we don't see a whole lot. But, I think there are some great articles in the publications these days. 5 articles in the last FoxTalk, 3 like I liked. The other two were good for the people that haven't been exposed to those topics before.

>What interesting topics are you referring to????

Lots of stuff. Do you really want me to rattle some topics off the top of my head, or are you lieing when you say there is nothing new or intriguing to write about for Fox?
