Yes, but, although you think it is bad, you learned it, right? You didn't say, "I'm not learning VB because MS designed a crappy language." ? I wasn't all too thrilled to learn enough ASP/VBScript to have to get me by...I would have much preferred to do it in PHP, but, that would mean moving the web server to Linux/FreeBSD, possibly moving the DB server to Linux/FreeBSD to run My/m/PostgreSQL (or leave it NT and use PHP's MSSQL server functions)...not to mention installing FP Extensions (I don't care what anyone else thinks...FP rocks for site management ) and making sure those don't get corrupt. Then, *finally*, make sure that everyone that is affected by these changes know what happened, and, if needed, re-train them. The solution? Use what was already in place, and have just one person adjust instead of all but one. The servers...they're NT...do I care? No. They do what is needed, and they do it very well. Hence, they are the right tool for the job at hand. -----Original Message----- From: sinck@corp.quepasa.com [mailto:sinck@corp.quepasa.com] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 2:32 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: RE: Linux Programmer \_ Use the best tool for the job... Yes; the jobs get done faster that way. \_ it's worked pretty damn well for me. By restricting yourself to non-MS \_ influenced languages because of a gripe with MS... Even noting that this was not directed at me, I have to point out that MS is responsible for VBScript not being good, and hence one of my gripes with MS. :-) David _______________________________________________ Plug-discuss mailing list - Plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
