Recent CF-Talk threads discussed RIAs and PIAs, inspired by Rob Rohan's
Neuromancer.

Still other threads recently have discussed running CFMX/BD from CD/DVD
or on the desktop -- the CFAnywhere concept.

There are lots of possibilities to use this format for existing apps --
but it may also open up entirely new markets,

Consider:

I went to Hal Helm's site to brush up on some techniques -- if you
haven't had the pleasure, go to:

   http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=tutorials.detail

Hal's presos have great content and they are animated to improve the
user experience -- but I felt that something was missing -- Hal -- his
rich voice.

Matt Fineholt emailed me about where he wants to use the CFAnywhere
concept:

���"I'm currently working in the e-learning industry and the
possibilities are endless for this kind�of technology.� Imagine a sales
person that's always on the road, but doesn't always have an internet
connection.� Instead of recreating the training on CD�with Authorware
or some other technology... just being able to copy the current
data-driven site with only minor tweaks.� Another application I can
think of would be resumes and portfolios for IT job seekers. I imagine
an employer might be impressed by a demo CD that is a completely self
contained archive of data-driven sites.�"

Mmmm... interactive training CD,s   My son-in-law is taking online
courses for his degree (when he can find the time).  Every few months
he takes a trip to Japan --- 11 hours wasted, each way...

I am putting together a site to remember family members who have passed
-- favorite music, scans of old photos in slide shows, small text
passages, movies (if my bandwidth will support it), maybe some
genealogy.

I am also putting together a iTunes playlist (within my DRs) for Rob's
girlfriend K. -- she wants to hear some polkas?

When I finish that,  I've got to get to busy on those digital photos
and video I took of my granddaughters first Holy communion & my
grandson's graduation from preschool-- really, a cap and gown?--
preschool?

I tie this all together in the final reel...

Hey, wait a minute -- I am currently taking training at Hal's site.

Why can't Hal's site have a richer UI -- think of it -- Hal's voice,
explaining the animated preso?

Matt's CD's certainly could benefit from a Richer UI.

My son-in-law could wrk smrtr & rn mr pa -- if he could study take his
courses on the long Japan trips.

And, the stuff I am doing, publishing family memories, could certainly
benefit from a richer interface --

Why can't I have a richer interface?

Oops, I am getting close to the 100 line limit,,, continued in part 2.

Stay tuned!

Dick
