Jim, I'm thanking you and whoever else it was who spoke about Node.js. I'm running through some tutorial classes on it this week, and beginning to see how I will use it. Thank you. Until now, I pretty much ignored JavaScript, seeing it as less than other "real" languages. So, thanks for the wake up call.
