<<<<On a not entirely unrelated topic, I can highly recommend 'attending' the virtual Worldwide Macromedia User Group meeting this week (see link below but be careful to translate the date/time to your local time!). Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/>>>> It's academic for me, I guess, since the NSW User Group is apparently not participating, but it would be very helpful if there was a more specific indication of what's to be included in the presentation. I have to travel for half a day to get to these things, and that's very costly for a one-man business like mine. I can afford to lose half a day's income if I know what I'm going for, but I get sick of going to things (not just Macromedia - Microsoft and others do the same thing) where I head back to my office thinking "that was a waste of time - nothing there I didn't know already" or "I wont use any of that in the next 6 months so it was a waste of time") Unless the presentation will cover material I'm likely to use within 6 months it's no use to me. How do I know if this presentation has anything like that in it? I decide whether to go to these things if I think the potential revenue outcome is greater than the actual revenue cost. Telling me about stuff that might or might not be in future releases does nothing to return me anything in revenue terms. There's no point in investing any of my time learning about something that may or may not be in a product. I'll wait and learn about it when it really DOES turn up in a product.
