I saw a couple of very cool customer applications today - a POS system used at restaurants, and a trading system for buying/selling natural gas. These are both very, very cool systems - and with the latter, our partner tells me that most of his competition is spreadsheets and PowerBuilder! It looks great, and I was very impressed with the work they've done - it's a great example of a VisualWorks application. I'll have more later, but I'm about to jump on a plane to Dallas - more customers to visit over the next two days.
