Bonnie-

Good luck with the snow and fog. Me, I've had so much sun in my life I actually _like_ the fog and rain. <s>

Don't get me wrong, for the most part I +do+ use datasets. I do use a data reader occassionally though occassionally. I think the "switch" will be more to caching from session vars, but I'll have to do some investigation and testing on that.
