    Its called free market economics or capitalism. Supply and demand. Maybe you've heard of it? ;) Seriously though, there is way too much speculation about what the markets WILL do and not enough on what they are doing.

    Hmmm...Personally I'd rather sex and nudity than violence any day. Sex and love I can explain to my kids, violence I can't. But then maybe I'm different to most people.

    I was hun - but staying there was slowly killing me (60 hours a month overtime and 70 miles a day commuting up the A33/M4). Add to that the fact that the place had a definite "beer culture" - and one of my co-workers who "came out" as being TV was ridiculed thereafter by his (and my) boss...and you can see why I'm glad I left. I'd hate to think what his reaction to me would have been. :mad: Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch Trouble with resource IDs?

    I could agree more! C# is way cool and is great for datacentric applications. I wouldn't use C#/Winforms for any real UI work. As for VB, VB.NET well you all know my thoughts about the language, the uses it, and the people who use it. Enough said.
