Bonnie,
I think we generally agree on .NET's current "place" in the world overall.
I used to enjoy "early adoption" but I leave that stuff to the more adventurous now < s >.
I didn't see the reply you mentioned. I was referring to thread #
692485 and I didn't see a reply by you in that one.
Enjoy your .NET trail-blazing. I know that your efforts will be helpful to me in the long run.
