Adobe has had a ton of server side technology for years before it acquired Macromedia so I'd say the guy was just not well-informed about his own company and their products. Several of its desktop products rely on server components. ColdFusion joined a number of existing - and often much more expensive - server technologies at Adobe. If anyone wants to point at a company in ColdFusion's history that didn't understand server side stuff, that would be Macromedia who tried and failed with several server products. Luckily ColdFusion survived and has been doing much better since Adobe took over. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies US -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret At ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
