Bob, MYSQL is a DB language and if the user makes it look like AOL, then it would; otherwise, not. I'm sure you would pick it up FAST and also find it excellent, very powerful, and easy to use. Also works well with PHP, which is also very good. PHP gives you the ability to actually code db instructions right in the (html like) document! Knocks javascript out of the water! If I can look at it and easily understand it, you can. Might not hurt to look at it a little more before you decide to make the huge move. IMHO, Joe

Bob, if Nasdaq.com is able to do all their transactions via a Microsoft platform, I see no reason why SI will have any problems at all. I'm fooling around with Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6) and all the .net framework stuff. What immediately made me happy was the new version of terminal services (for much easier remote access). But, regardless, web services are the future of the net, IMO. Using web services you could easily integrate SI/iHub into all sorts of financial web sites (such as Nasdaq.com). Could be a whole new revenue stream. Rather than go into technical details about the Nasdaq site, I'll refer you to: microsoft.com For more information about Windows Server 2003: microsoft.com - Jeff
