It is a bit to get your hands around, especially the reader/writer objects for I/O. Overall, I like it. The DataGrid control is nice, and is definately less coding once you understand how it works. I also wrote less code for updating the database, thanks to ADO.Net. As Jerry Pournelle writes, it gets an Orchid.

I worked on redesigning the logo for the RMYB league. The tool at hand was Macromedia's Fireworks v4.0. This program seems much more user-friendly than Adobe's Photoshop. Keep in mind that I have no training in graphic design! Your mileage may vary.
