texte = Stuart, I don't use most of 6's new features either. But my point was that you never know when you'll be required to start doing something a certain way; or at some point, an old solution just isn't good enough or fast enough any longer; or your competition is offering things your old solution can't do. I'm like Dan, a graphic artist whose only programming language is WebDNA. I've peeked into PHP and others. Like Dan, my head spins and I can't imagine finding the time (or even the capacity) to learn that stuff. I'm crossing my fingers for a reasonable longevity with WebDNA. SmithMicro hosts WebDNA sites, so I would think they'd have some moral responsibility to keep it going, unless they're waiting for their clients to go away by attrition.
