The problem as I see it is lot's of
people (perhaps not you) want access to all the new stuff (XML, Web,
WebServices, PDFs, Excel, etc.) w/o learning anything new.</snip>

True...which is why I STILL see alot of Level Indicators & other out-dated 
methodologies continually used in RPG IV syntax...

But those of us who ACTUALLY WANT to learn & do bigger and better things do so 
mostly for our own benefit...too many people fall into the category you 
defined...

Make me happy...let them all retire, find a new career...anything just leave 
programming to those who can & will program!!!

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
