Well howdy, CartoGeo! You can have your first post on your own thread you know!

Great to see you here and welcome to our little guild. It's great to have a proper architect here....most of us have no idea about architecture apart from what is self taught and it would be wonderful if you could share your knowledge on the subject.

I entirely agree that it's what you make rather than the software you make it with that counts.

cheers!
