Jim. Use those pain killing drugs to your advantage. If you get in the trading zone. I say go with it. -g-

No seriously, I think your right about software. But i think the Gap in what users wants could be interesting.

I gave a presentation in a C Programming class. (this week) I threw out all the stops and used a perl program that was a real wiz bang little program. Read in 20 databases. (1500 lines long about a half million characters each) Split up the numbers. did a pattern matching thingie (on every fourth line of the database). cut off the front and back of some variables produced on the fly. Spun the numbers around a little...Presented them in a nice little format.

It was quite impressive little cgi program actually. LOL. (if i do say so myself) :0)

Old timers (Professionals) in the group....asked me if i copied the program. (becaue i've never been paid a dime professionally for any programming.) LOL.

I said no way. I've just spent the last 2 years working on the stuff. LOL.

Jim, wrt XP home vs biz, I think it is a question of pricing. There are a bunch of features such as remote desktop, roaming profiles, corporate management features which don't make sense for most home users but end up costing money to develop...

I don't think the biz version will be wildly successful. Win2K is good enough for corporations. I think the main target of XP is the consumer. Just IMHO, of course.
