Yes, Olaf, I *do* consider the impact of build time. It used to take me ~30 min to do a full build. This made me abandon the RAD "trial-and-error" rebuild paradigm, and return to the old-fashioned way of "running the code in my head" a number of times before doing another build. Now I have a faster machine and a full build takes ~10-15 min, but I still stick with the old-fashioned way of coding with those build times. As for time spared, consider this, You may save 2-5 min build time, but that time is paid for by millions of users, over and over and over again... *That* is what I mean. WBR // Love
