I'll reply in full shortly when I get a chance, but for now - 
condolences, sincerely - and thanks to the nice dates we currently have 
I can say:

"wow i remember using classic asp as my primary language a decade ago"
or:
"omg I wrote my first news admin system in classic asp at the turn of 
the century"
or even:
"omg I remember being stuck with classic asp in the last millenium"!

In all seriousness though:
1: how'd you manage to get stuck on classic asp still? maintaining old 
systems that won't shift?
2: has it changed much, if any? (last i used was chillisoft on cobalt 
raq4's!)

Best,

Nathan
