Not to butt in, but ANY programmer that can be identified as a "language X person" is likely to be what I believe your calling a "neo-luddite" no matter what language you're talking about. Even if that language is Ada95. Programmers who are interested in broader language issues learn multiple languages. That allows them to collect a larger toolbox to apply to the problems at hand. -- Jonathan Guthrie (jguthrie@brokersys.com) Information Broker Systems +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA We sell Internet access and commercial Web space.
