I work in public education, public municipal governments, labor unions - social worker organizations.

They are as fully invested in desktops as ever before. Most people have desktops and laptops. And the whole network is still inside - still windows - still tons of servers.

All these folks were mainframes and mini's prior to 1995 - some even lived through Y2K on those old boxes and migrated later.

Now people are getting tablets - and asking us programmers to give them some kind of access to their data. If the tablet is a full Surface Pro II or III they don't even ask.

I just got an email yesterday - one of my clients just got a bunch of LG Tablets from Verizon. My web app isn't designed for that size screen and they wanted to know what we could do about it.

Luckily I have an Android app that talks to my same IIS web methods as my web app and can offer them a solution. And I get paid for that solution.

That is what makes NO sense in this thread. None of my clients are saying "give us a VB6 app" - "where did that ADO go!".
