This one is horribly cheap and dirty. My brain is fried and couldn't think
of anything long winded and code heavy to start your weekend ... sorry

<tip type=".NET">
* ASP.NET will run side by side with ASP on the same server, hell even in
the same site (.aspx vs .asp)
* VB.NET (VB7) will install and coexist very nicely with VB6
</tip>

--MS has gone to great lengths to 1) make this .NET stuff as nice as
possible to work with and 2) eliminate HTML coders from the planet,
replacing them with VB coders.

How? By changing the development and runtime environment to treat HTML forms
just like VB forms.

I'm staying within earshot of what's going on, but everything I've seen go
by so far has been development-related. I'm curious what all this
server-side-the-developer-doesn't-have-to-write-HTML-anymore processing does
to web site *performance.* We shall see, we shall see.
