Point out that pushing this means they're almost certainly going to lose at least some of their development team, which means the next release is going to start from ground zero without the necessary expertise. Even if that doesn't happen, switching to Java is going to take much more time than improving the current product: http://www.JoelOnSoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n nx prgrmmng. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
