   I won't argue the point per se, but I write CBM support utils in Java   
   because I can offer easier cross platform support without multiple   
   codebases.  Code bloat and memory usage are items I can control, but   
   what platform a user desires is not.   
      
   And, yes, I know Mono is out there, and I'm not knocking it, but that   
   just seems like (flashback 20 years) asking a C64 zealot to write code   
   that will also run on the Apple II or Atari.  Doable, sure. probable,   
   less probable.   
      
   No offense, Payton.  I've got Visual Studio installed and in use for   
   other projects.
