Only if you have no idea what 'ironic' means. I think you actually mean 'surprising' .

You're basically right though, and I think Juggalo's explanation is probably on the money. There's not much new software being written in 6 but there's ALOT more legacy code out there than new stuff. As an ex VB6 coder who moved to .Net these are the salad days for me. The number of companies that want the combined skill set is awesome. There's a lesson there: while it's always good to be up on the next generation of technologies, it pays to be up on the last one too.
