And this is OT off of your OT.

I'd say I've had one broadening leap about every ten years in this profession.

They are generally "behind the times". There's a reason for that. To me, going from programming to database was a broadening leap. The chioce of relational (later SQL) databases over CODASYL databases was one I made for very simlpeminded reasons: it's easier to get something done. Received on Sat Nov 20 2004 - 07:26:05 CST
