I tried posting this a few days ago, but firewall issues at work prevented me from posting. A little about me: I'm a MCSD(.NET) & MCT. I work for a fairly big retail company (2700 stores) in the IT department. I'm president of the Roanoke Valley .NET User Group (RV.NUG) and I don't have any GMail invites. I've been playing with the Visual Studio 2005 beta, and I have to say it's pretty cool. I'll post more about that as I spend more time with it. I've also been writing my own roguelike game in VB.NET. ......
