Being part of Naspers which owns MWeb does not help :) As for what I said. What I was driving at with the example is the removal of the individual branding and processes of each site that sells book and the creation of an e-Commerce application which you can find, compare and buy items with. So with books I could fire up the app and type in 60 Ways To Do The Hookie Pookie. The app would then contact the Amazon, BN, Kalahari, Exclusive Books etc. servers and return an XML list of all the books and their details that they have on offer. I can then in the app with the unified interface compare prices, details, availability, shipping costs etc. Then I would choose my source for the book and click a Buy button and the app would then tell the chosen source to ship me the book. All of that, instead of having ten browser windows open with 10 sites, with different details, having to have an account for each book store and going half way through the checkout to compare shipping costs. After all they all sell the same thing with the same base details and ancilliary variables. Title, description, author, price, stock, shipping. But I don't see them giving up their branding very easily ;)

...does CodeProject consist of I wonder. Surely there must be an outstanding amount, given all the different features the site offers. Anyone care to guess? Or even better, does Chris M. care to tell us all? Chris Richardson Programmers find all sorts of ingenious ways to screw ourselves over. - Tim Smith
No guesses? :D cheers, Chris Maunder

I hear the gears grinding... Will this be a contest anytime soon? Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

Another option might be to use shockwave/flash embedded into your app as an interface (or as part of a html interface) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Arg, I knew it was going to be higher. How about 100,000? Chris Richardson Programmers find all sorts of ingenious ways to screw ourselves over. - Tim Smith

Oh boy. Let's swap the 1 with a 5. Could it be 500,000?? :omg: Chris Richardson Programmers find all sorts of ingenious ways to screw ourselves over. - Tim Smith

No - a little lower than that. And remember - this is all high quality VBScript we're talking about ;) cheers, Chris Maunder

Whew. I was hoping I would hit a higher number one of these times...So I'm thinking it's in the area of 400K. It must take a lot of work to maintain all that.
