[dba-Tech] IE 6 and the rest

Hi Jim,

I know some people that do no even know what C# means and they  make quite a
lot of money building big websites with DNN.  They call themselves System
Integrators.  Just plug your module and play.

I now what you mean about "too many things to learn, only about 20 - 30
years left to live"
