Agreed, although judging by certain decisions that have been made WRT Indiana, there seems to be the presumption that developers don't already use Solaris. I think the powers that be at Sun would do well to recall this (slightly paraphrased) adage: "Attract new developers but keep the old, for the new are silver but the old are gold." In its haste to attract new developers, methinks Sun is doing a disservice to its current customers/users/developers. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA CEO, My Online Home Inventory URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.linkedin.com/in/richteer http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com
