I'm with Nathan on this one. It could be done fairly easily. Finding the
time is the problem.

I'm swamped right now otherwise I'd pound it out tonight over a few beers.
I've put together quite a few nice systems, although decided against AJAX
for most of them. I am using it in one application now I'm writing for a
county clerk's office. I showed it to Aaron. While simple, it does work
nice as far as making it more "user friendly" and the hardest part was
putting together (actually finding online!) an AJAX library to plug in so I
could make multiple connections at once. That took all of 10 minutes.
Implementing it took all of 30.

The problem is, right now it's only internal. It's one case in all the
projects I've done where I thought AJAX fit perfectly.

I know, Joe. Another "copout" answer. Some of us these days want to spend
more time with our families and sleep instead of pounding out proof of
concept code. :) (yes, there is a smiley there!) Now, if you pay me for
the time, I'd be happy to do it. :)

You wouldn't let anyone else get away with saying "it could be done easily". If it was so easy, you could find the time. If you can't find the time, it's not that easy. You just said it you could do it overnight, I say there's no way.

You're right, it's a copout, and I'm not buying it. Sorry. And even with a smiley, to intimate that you spend more time with your family than I do is sheer hokum of the *nastiest* kind and utterly inappropriate on this list. Let's stick with the facts, and the fact is I've shown a working application.

This, by the way, is exactly the reason I've made the challenge. Because there is a lot of bravado on the list, but very little substance. Until you prove it, you're blowing smoke.
