Longfellow: 

And the night shall be filled with music, 
And the cares that infest the day, 
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, 
And quietly steal away."

Beautiful. Guy had a real way with words, didn't he?

Jim,

I agree with most of what you said and some of what your citations said.
Clearly the marketplace has shifted, and we dinosaurs who put on our
blinkers and see the rapidly-dimishing market for desktop apps (irrespective
of programming language)... I for one Refuse to die in the asphalt
tar-sands. Thank God for Alpha Anywhere to lead me out of these tar-sands.
Were it not for that company, I would fold my tent and steal away like Arabs
in the night (that's not a slur but a vaguely recollected poem or story from
Rudyard Kipling, or possibly someone else; memory fails, in direct
proportion to age).
