I hope Don was sobber when he said that. :-)

Perfect!

if I could change one thing at MSFT, it would be that Ruby becomes the language
of choice.

Why did I get serious right now? I was just having a good time after
reading this:

----- http://www.bash.o... ----
<Korras> friendship among women: one doesn't come home one night, and
tells her bf that she spent the night with a female friend of hers. bf
calls 10 of her friends, and none know a thing.
<Korras> friendship amongst men: same thing happens. man says he spent
the night at a friends place. gf calls 10 of his friends. 8 confirm he
has been there, and the two others say he's still there.

I guess somethings are meant to be serious, namely our professions. :-)

Cheers,
Joao.
