>> "I disagree Jon. I think it is easier to just dive in to the OO concepts
and "learn to swim". However, I agree that the gradual migration across
the ILE facilities smooths out the "down time" over a longer period by
allowing developers to still remain productive while picking up new
concepts. This should be easier for the stock holders to swallow." <<

I think we agree in practical terms Chris, as you note in the second part of
your note, those faced with a river full of aligators may find it less painful
to learn to swim in the backyard pool before diving in completely.  If you can
spare the 3 to 6 months it takes most people to unlearn all they know about
designing and coding in a procedural world, then "diving in" works fine.  My
experience has been that most people don't have that sort of time.  Of course
some are lucky and just tended to design in an OO fashion anyway (even if they
didn't know that's what they were doing!)
