Re: anti-advocacy: Larry Seltzer, pcmag May'01 pub.

LOL... I think his article is fine. PC-MAG caters to mostly windows users. And honestly, there are issues in php that haven't matured to 5 * rating. I think the developers are making leaps and bounds toward a solid windows product. There are many compilicatons that will cause the average PC-MAG many headaches. PHP is the best language on the market, IMO, but I'm a developer, not a PC-MAG subscriber. PC-MAG lost my patronage a long time ago because of technically weak articles, such as this, perhaps they will loose you partrons as well. -Joe ""Dickerson, Monty"" <webjavapro@integrity.tamu.edu> wrote in message news:902A38AEABA0D4119C9D0060081E7E4E5D309C@integrity.tamu.edu... > Today boss comes in and says, "Seen pcmag's story about php? says it is > bad."
