Neil, "It all comes down to whether you, as a developer, develop commodities or software that is a cut above the rest. If it relies on technologies like AOCE, QuickDraw GX, AppleScript, or whatever in order to make it stand out, then by making the cross platform jump, you're screwed." Your point is valid and well taken. However, I think there's a way to make it happen. Of course, that way may not make enough sense to use. "I believe that most Macintosh developers are not interested in developing commodities — otherwise they would have been developing for Windows. Macintosh is about doing things better — not like everyone else." I believe most Mac develops better start learning how to program Windows. David
