Wow, more deja vu all over again. Are we detecting a theme here, gang? Could it be
that that designers are starting to shed the shackles of servitude to geekdom? Nah!

I pointed out that Director Demystified and Rosenweig's book are tremendous examples
of just what is missing here when it comes to AS. I of course got a terse remark that
AS has been around a lot less than Director. Horse hockey! Look at how Jason and Gary
present their tutorials and don't tell me it can't be done on this side of the
continuum.
