Please post a map. It's a nice world to visit ;)


Mac vs PC. It's not only a COST question. There's a whole Philosophy

behind it. I believe one must use the tool that does the job and fits

better. Some people work better with Mac others with PCs, and some with

Amigas. Period. This is not a productive discussion.


Now a better one:


Now that Flash handles forms, I see it as a future menace (not a phantom

one) the application sofwares, like Sun's Net Dynamics, and

client-server software in general. If Macromedia follows this trend,

Flash 5 will be a general-purpose client-server tool, and then, poor old

HTML frontends. 


My questions:


1 - is anyone working with Flash as frontend to Intranets?


2- Can a flash movie, in a .exe file, connect with remote servers, and

transfer data from & to it ?


A Flash executable can be a killerapplication, as customized client

software...
