Steve, man, you've got it all wrong. I also realize that I'm
responding late, but man did I get a dose of bad news and now I'm
working from home. I'm like one of the biggest fans of PHP and Linux
out there. It's my employer (now previous employer) that was
threatening to take it into the Java and Windows realm, not me. But
it's a moot issue now. I quit.
Also, dashboard is a rather common term. At least it was when I was
doing Sharepoint work in the Microsoft world when I was nutso and used
to work in that realm. Now the only reason I touch Windows is to load
up IE 6 and IE 7 to test PHP websites I create.
