Hi Joe (long time no hear)

but I won't convince NETizens of that, so we can drop the thick client
discussion here.

I Should point out I am not, and never have been, a thick client fan (my
interest has always been in Client Server, e.g. ASP.NET)

Maybe at least we agree on something ;-)

We do - thick client is pretty awful. And we completely disagree on ASP .NET. Whether it's webforms or MVC, the Microsoft model is way too proprietary for me. You CAN make it work and play with the really good stuff out there (like Dojo) but it isn't easy.
