Hi Joseph,

While I am no fan of ASP or ASP.NET <http://ASP.NET> I did want to point out 
that, if someone did choose to use ASP they *can* interface with MySQL. It's 
not as easy as it is in PHP but it *is* an option. So, technically, one 
doesn't have to pay for the database.

3.0 the above should say why PHP towers over ASP. However i do not have much 
experience with .NET aside from knowing the following.

languages (VB.NET <http://VB.NET>, C#, J#, i hear delphi is working on .net 
or has released one.) When i say mix languages i know one page can use VB 
and another can use C# but as for mixing languages in one file i dont think 
you can do that.
