Heeeeeeeeee!  Okay, perhaps "anti" is a bit strong, but certainly not 
"pro".  You made a pretty strong statement that you don't think AJAX 
fits very often:

"I've put together quite a few nice systems, although decided against AJAX
for most of them.  I am using it in one application now I'm writing for a
county clerk's office.  I showed it to Aaron.  While simple, it does work
nice as far as making it more "user friendly" and the hardest part was
putting together (actually finding online!) an AJAX library to plug in so I
could make multiple connections at once.  That took all of 10 minutes.
Implementing it took all of 30.

The problem is, right now it's only internal.  It's one case in all the
projects I've done where I thought AJAX fit perfectly."


Is that "anti-AJAX".  Perhaps not.  But it's far from a ringing 
endorsement, whereas the examples Nathan showed us were from the ground 
up dependent on AJAX.  Just a slight architectural disconnect, is all.
