I hate sending "too late" birthday cards, but I'd happily make an exception: Congratulations ! CodeStore has really helped me a lot getting the knowledge I now have.
Regarding XPages: in of your replies above you say "But I can't see anything I can't do without XPages". You're definitely right at that but that has probably more to do with the fact that you were always using Domino in a non-traditional way, trying to do cutting-edge browser-based stuff. I have been building "web2.0" components with Domino long before XPages were introduced, but that always felt like having to constantly abuse the tools that were available. By doing web development with XPages that changes: they definitely allow you to getting things done in an easier and more intuitive way. You get the feeling like being back in control again.
With my knowledge of Domino and everything that comes with doing web development (like html, css, javascript frameworks) Xpages aren't difficult to learn: I am sure that you will too be up to speed in a couple of days. You'll only have to learn where to click in Designer 8.5 :-)
I am also sure that if you're diving more into XPages you can count on a lot of your old-time readers, trying to return knowledge for everything that you've shared in the last decade!
