OK ... but I'll have to break my web-mail addiction :)

I share the same vision of teaching programming to other 
programmers enslaved on non-GNU platforms, but my goal 
is to reach those at the 4GL and database level ... 
this would be COBOL and VB programmers.

I think I can reach up to 400 of my colleages at most,
(IT employees in state goverment mostly here in Santa Fe), 
but I need a compelling environment to show them first.  
I think eclipse might just be that development tool.  
I saw a really intriguing demo on Wednesday night.  IBM
spent $40 million developing the tool and forked it, 
putting eclipse under GNU and Webspere under commercial 
license.
