Yep and I've already made my decision on that, no rewrite, it's not
economically feasible.  We'll make do with running legacy OS's if we have
to.  (at least until someone makes a good conversion from VB to .NET -- and
don't say VB.NET, that's not VB.)

I'm not looking at writing anything in .NET, but I have been taking a peek
at Delphi lately.  Delphi is getting somewhat of a following in my
company...
