I'm approaching 60, Shari. When I was in school, IBM didn't exist.

I appreciate the irony in your reply. I stand by my original observation. If you're creating a company that is your future around software, you really cannot afford NOT to have at least a couple of languages in your toolkit. That doesn't mean you have to stop everything for a year or two while you master another language/tool, but I think it *does* mean you have to start working into your jammed schedule some time to begin that process. Take it from someone who's started a half-dozen software companies over the years: standardizing on one tool,  unless that tool is something like C++ or Java or even Smalltalk with a lot of company and industry momentum, is a recipe for serious heartache.
