Then (maybe) hotmail could have been written in php, but again, it would be hotmail, not squirrelmail. We know hotmail as it is now not because it is written in perl/asp/php/jsp/whatever, but because it is simply a successful project. Marketing and promotion here means more than the underlying engine - without it there would be no hotmail or yahoo, but something else, like, say, coldmail and hoooya, better promoted. Meanwhile, there were no microwave oven in 1950. It simply could not exist in 1950. Like PHP, ASP, JSP, etc. could not exist in 1985 in the current form. Technology needs time to improve. -- Best regards, Maxim Derkachev mailto:max.derkachev@books.ru System administrator & programmer, Symbol-Plus Publishing Ltd. phone: +7 (812) 324-53-53 www.books.ru, www.symbol.ru
