I recently completed a small VB.NET Windows Form program that took a string entered by the user and counted how many of each letter was in that string, regardless of whether it was upper- or lower-case. The presence of other characters, such as ; : , . ", etc. didn't matter. Needless to say, it took about three weeks to get it done, but it works perfectly. The next step in my process is to build the same program in VC#.NET in order to compare the codes and extrapolate the differences in syntaxes, as well as how they translate across each other. In my quest for greater understanding of VC#.NET, I came across two very helpful ebooks. Microsoft Visual C#: Step-by-Step by John Sharp Sams Teach Yourself Visual C# 2008 in 24 Hours

i downloaded and installed chrome tonight. i have not read anything online about what's under the hood, but the user experience for google apps is outstanding. email/calendar/docs all appear to be much more responsive than safari, which had felt faster than firefox and ie. i still much prefer safari's font engine and general feel, so my plan is to use chrome for google apps stuff, and have safari open for web stuff. http://www.google.com/chrome
