he he...good one. Geico's got funny commercials. Too bad their rates suck unless you have a perfect driving record.

I saw on the TV Squad Blog that they are actually making a TV pilot starring the Geico cavemen

It should be interesting for about 2 minutes.

@Mickbw,

Yeah, I heard that somewhere. I love the caveman. 99% chance that the TV show will be horrible, but I am a dreamer. I hold on to that 1% chance that it might just be brilliant :)

While I find the humor amusing, Coldfusion can be as simple or as complicated and advanced as needed to a great number of tasks.

Do we want to be associated with Cavemen or efficient developers of web based solutions!

Thanks.

Gary

I'd say in a given week, I get called a Caveman at least 2 or 3 times... so, I don't have much of a choice :)
