I don't think this kind of incantative tone serves your cause. Being enthousiastic about a technology is one thing but pretending it will make everything easy, agile, allow everyone to save money, and avoid headaches sounds more like bullshit... IMHO some code, facts, measurements and an enonciation of the necessary tradeoffs would be more convincing. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
