Thanks for the encouraging words Rich.

The only thing about Delphi is that the jobs for it seem also to be drying up. Being able to find job is what it's all about for me. I really don't care about which language to learn.

>And you're never too old to learn new tricks! Learning new things gives you a fresh persepective sometimes on solving problems that may have seemed difficult before. I'm almost 40. So, I'm not far behind you. I feel like I have been in continuous learning mode ever since I was 18 and I wrote my first program as a Freshman in college. And, there have definitely been enough programming languages and technologies to learn since I first taught myself Assembler back in 1982 just so I could make my Word Processor run a lot faster. It was pretty fun seeing how far you could push the limits of a 1MHz, 64K Apple IIe!
