unfortunately, i don't have the experience of writing any weird or unusual apps... yet.
the closest would thing i have done would be a black jack game (yawn!) mostly database apps.
anyhow, the reason i am replying to this thread is that i noticed NeilAvent is a gis consultant. anyone else out there doing gis development or customization. i have extensive experience with the ESRI products ArcView, ArcINFO, MapObjects, etc...
i am currently working with a utility company that uses SmallWorld gis systems.
just curious...
