<div>I suppose you are right Phil, there's no point in saying stuff here on it.</div>
<div>If that is actually true then thinking out side Delphi will be th last resort where many are headed. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yet strangely I might yet get D2006, <font color="#cc0000"><u>especially if someone in Borland bother to put me back on the mail out list!</u></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I feel the same about .net as others are saying . . I keep developing in Delphi wondering where it is heading . . . and wondering about some kind of PHP with a really decent cross platform widget set for desktop apps.

<p><span>PRADO</span> is a component-based and event-driven framework for rapid Web programming in PHP 5. PRADO reconceptualizes Web application development in terms of components, events and properties instead of procedures, URLs and query parameters.
</p>
<p>A PRADO component is a combination of a specification file (in XML), an HTML template and a PHP class. PRADO components are combined together to form larger components or complete PRADO pages. </p>
<p>Developing PRADO Web applications mainly involves instantiating prebuilt and application-specific component types, configuring them by setting their properties, responding to their events by writing handler functions, and composing them into application tasks.
