ah, I can. I'm doing my darnist to push this because I can see how we can
use it here. Some of the technology (eg video/audio streaming) isn't that
new (porn sites have been using it for a while - or so I'm told!). At the
moment it is in no way rock solid (Tues Breeze broadcast by Robin Hilliard
showed that) but that will come with time. It's still early days.

What people here are worried about is it turning into another lame-duck
technology (MM's Generator springs to mind...and millions of examples from
Microsoft) - backing a donkey.

one thing I'd like to get clarification of (and it could be a nothing point)
is something Robin said on Tuesday - that's FLEX is directed towards Java
developers.

Is that only because of the language similarities between Java and
Actionscript? If you've seen one {} language, you've seen 'em all?

Or is it more like Java/CF where Flash could "extend" Java? I ask because
we're more likely to focus on .NET than Java and whether this would matter
(hope not).

The ROI white papers on mm.com don't sway you then? Real-world examples 
of increased revenue, increased customer satisfaction etc?
