>>>uh, this might be a stupid question, but has anyone here written object code before. it ain't like putting together the family home page.

I have but I couldn't do it. I would program first and read the manual later. That one of my biggest problems...I can see the end result, I just can't stand the frustration of learning how to do something new.

That's how I founded my software company...I had an Idea, and found somebody who could do it.

WHO-WA-LA....he's making more screwing around with my ideas about 20 days a year then he does working in 9 months, he's a Professor of Computer Science. He's Happy, I'm Happy. My Job Description in that business is; think of sh-t, no stress at all.

>> if finding a squadron of talented object coders is part of the success story . . .

. . . INTF has what you need . . . and the pool gets better every day . . . hope you stay around but just like the last few days, if them there disbelievers are going to throw me cheap stock . . . I'll stand there with the basket open.

Remember David, I said the product was scalable . . . that is what I meant . . . it is all in place . . . you ought to try for the annual meeting . . . you might just double up instead.

Out to dinner . . . snow or no snow in NYC . . . then . . . who knows.

Yeah, for about the last 12 years or so. First project out of school was an oo designed system written from scratch with C++. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

If their system is object-oriented, fine, that can help but what really matters:
- does it work (duh) and are the customers happy with it
- is the system designed well so that supposed "minor" changes don't wreak havoc on other parts
- is the system scalable and extensible
- and a host of other things that I'm sure you already know

I don't care if something is written in C++ or Java, or whatever. A friend of mine, a C guru, has been an OO programmer long before OO was talked about, yet I've interviewed people who professed to know OO and C++ just because they ran freakin' AppWizard in Visual C++.
