Hans-Erik, when you refer to 3.) you think of RATL, right?. But if they get their act ogether, this should be an incredible story for quite many years till to come!!

By thinking of this I'm reminded of the figures Trevor cited from some IDC or Dataquest study which had the OOT market reaching billions in a few years only (5 or 6).

So maybe we should sell the ranch, the car, the dog and the kids and buy RATL?? I'm more and more intrigued...

On a more personal note, as you are see software as a business insider, do you own any other software stock? Is there another technology co. you bet on? (FWIW, besides RATL I'm in SUNW, SYBS, COMS, EDS, WDC and HWP (not very original, I guess)). I feel there is one dog in there, but I don't know which one :-)

Thomas

Hi Hans. I like your comments regarding OO. I think you are right on with UML as a standard notation. The concept is a communications miracle. As far as OO proper, I am convinced it is only a matter of time that developers in general start seeing systems as being made up of components. And as expertise in component design becomes more widespread, reusability will be a natural by-product rather than an objective.
