basis in facts that don't make much sense anyway. I'd really like to avoid
addressing them or falling prey to my desire to respond negatively. Is that
what you want? Is there some point to your comments?
For the rest of you reading this, I have no financial interest in the
success or failure of BlueDragon. Although, I would like to see them
succeed. I don't know whether New Atlanta will implement the event gateway.
I don't know whether they can. I certainly think they should implement it if
for no other reason then to be compatible with ColdFusion. We all want that
right?
Personally, if I were to guess which functionality would be hard to
implement in BlueDragon I wouldn't guess something like the event gateway. I
would guess something that produces Flash on the fly.
