        I don't know if I'd go so far as calling it stupid, however I most
certainly agree that moving from an open and perfectly functional platform
to a closed crippled platform like VS is NOT a good idea. I have always
stayed away from MS development tools because of the "you're stuck" factor,
once you get used to doing it the MS way, which of course doesn't work with
any NON MS stuff, it's hard to switch. TTYL
