Anyone who may have not looked at iReports (basically a java version of Crystal 
Reports) in a while, may be pleased to know that it now (as of Feb?) has a Drag 
n' Drop SQL writer built into the GUI page builder. The whole JasperReports 
suite is pretty sweet these days.

Back in the days of VisualBasic and Windows 3.1 (1992?), I wrote a lot of our 
filePro based OrderEntry system with thought that it would only take me a few 
weeks to get everything working as a proof of concept in Windows. I think at one 
time I even remmber writing comments like "This will be hard to do in VB" while 
coding. Ah, the days of OCX's.

I didn't feel old till I read that Tony Soprano turned 47 last night.
I'm older than him by 4 months :(
