You know, I think we are the only group of professionals that do not 
necessarily have the luxury of remaining static throughout our careers; 
at least not for a long while.

PHP is my hottest thing now but facing an EDI project which involves 
using .NET or C#.  Not a problem I say, heck, how tough can it be? 
After all, I did pretty well with filePro 20 years ago  :-|

I included all of these just to make sure no one felt left out and not 
run the risk of been bias.  That being said, I wonder what JAVA and .NET 
developers would say about filePro?  My guess is that they will wonder 
how can we get anything done and stare at the if:then: dingy.
