Everything sounded great until you said the word soda. I drink pop.

After spending 4 years in Pittsburgh, I also say "Pop" but figured "soda" was more universal. :-)

Uhmmm...trying to wrap my mind around NMock and/or DotNetMock, I must have consumed gallons of caffeine in the form of soda/pop/coffee =P

We have been kicking the RhinoMocks framework around at Thycotic. So far we are very happy with it. The compile time benefits (no reflecting on strings) is wonderful and Resharper compatible (for renaming, etc). The change in thinking required for mocks-based development is substantial though and I can see where caffeine would help! :-)
