I propose to consider new [ASP/SQL] tag on this list.

Actually PIC based devices could serve as light web clients within
ASP.NET/MS SQL applications. This kicks off huge market. Hope MCHP
people will understand it not too late.

For example, your know, here in "Texas" sized Inner Mongolia we would
like to equip every camel with cheap Internet-over-GPRS enabled
PIC-based mobile to report to California based web server about the
current condition of the camel and its load.

The "data logger" software on the server would report in real time
about camel status, and would predict camel possible failure, so a
herdsman would receive warning SMS and could care of the situation in
timely manner.

We have a good number of camels roaming around the desert. So the
project seems to be quite big.

Some good/gold level PIC professionals are on the list to consult
with. And for ASP.NET/MS SQL part of the project we'd like to have
consultants on the list too to keep the development consistent.

So, again, why not new [ASP/SQL] tag on this list.

Thanks.
