Hey, Mike
I went to a couple of the roll-outs and 2 day things MS did and I had pretty much the same reaction. Not anxious to be on the bleeding edge of it, but it is fun and definitely strikes a more friendly chord than VB6. Of couse for FOx folks anything about data that is done in a non-datacentric environment seems cumbersome and crazy, but developing n-tier apps in VFP has helped at least in thinking the right way. I'm kind of interested in ASP.NET right now but not into it far enough yet to know where I'll go with it since the current client-base thinks the internet is just for porn.
>Not only that, I like it. I have known for years that it would be smart to branch out into VB but something about VB always ticked me off. It just seemed aimed more at marginal developers than serious professionals. IMO VB.NET has changed that. It's fully object oriented, has a terrific IDE, and in general has about everything I want in a programming language/tool. >

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.
