I'd have to load up a copy of mii again to have a look at what it does
with the white space. the onTap framework seems to be pretty friendly
about allowing you to control it. I put a <cfsetting
enablecfoutputonly="true"> in a template in the application stage and
that stripped out a whole bunch of extra space. I did have to put
cfoutput around a few bits of code in the framework templates and
republished it since it's probably better that way.

Good point. I was thinking of advertised speeds. It seems like I see
1.2mbps advertised a lot, but then that could be me just not paying
much attention. Mind that I'm pretty sure they're saying "megabits",
not "megabYtEs" in the adds to make it seem as though it's 8x as fast
as they're actually claiming.

Yea, I should add this... haven't gotten around to it yet... There are
plans for onTap to support BD although right now that's stimied by
their not fixing one of their bugs in 6.1. They've said they plan to
fix it in 6.2 but we have no rumors about the schedule for that, so...
As of now the framework doesn't even load on BD. Sucks.

Come to think of it I already knew that Sean Corfield was using
mach-ii for PHP for his blog.
