Re: Truly later thinking...Honey, grab me another beer

Richard,

This event is incorrectly marketed.

It seems that you are offering a "showcase" - EGL one day, then .Net the
next. Where is the "face off" where EGL and .Net are face to face? And, with
Pluta doing EGL, not Java, then the title is terribly misleading.

Of course, one would expect "EGL/.Net Showcase" is probably not going to be
'anticipated', let alone 'highly'...

Well, since you brought it up......

Joe and I are doing a Java/.Net Faceoff Event in Chicago on September
18-19.

I would like to have seen PHP and RPG in there as well, but we didn't
have enough pre-planning time.

Maybe we can get Mike to come down for some PHP commentary :-)

Since IBM already has racks of servers at the downtown center you won't
get to see me wheel any racks, but you will get to see Joe puff some EGL
:-)

Actually, I like where Peter is going with this. How about we all go
for the shootout, eh? Get those specs out there and we all toss our own
version of an application in the language of our choice? Put our
examples up on hotscripts.com so all can see. If Peter does Net.Data,
I'll do PHP. Maybe Joe can do Java or EGL or whatever tool IBM hands
him to play with. Richard can use .Net and then wheel his rack full of
servers in to run it. Can we get Brad to throw it together in RPG/CGI?


Well gang...you got game?
