[Emphasis mine] Sam Gentile's Weblog on .Net - Regarding a new MSDN article on .Net 'No Touch Deployment' -"The Task Management sample application referenced in this paper is provided in Visual Basic .NET. (yuck)". [Emphasis mine] On another Constitutional Note (Article 1 Section 8) - From ComputerWorld: 'FTC told of state barriers to e-commerce'. It could cost the consumer $32bn a year.  6:51:11 AM
