who said anything about "cutting edge"? And what, may I ask you, will
replace Flash?
Did I hear someone say Director? HA HA HA check out the learning curve on
that one. We as a planet are going to need millions of entertainment
designers to sell products and carry adverts and keep the whole comedy going
round and round. Now, would you rather teach millions of people Flash or
Director? Why didn't crappy Director sites start appearing all over the net
when it came out? Because it sucks.

And sorry i got your name wrong again martin ;)
