Mike, I didn't have much luck with the Laszlo community. I posted several questions, and most of them went unanswered. Maybe they just don't like ignorant newbies?
I also couldn't get Laszlo Systems to answer all of my questions. They sent me a nice email when I joined their forum, but when I asked some questions, they only answered some of them (and the answers they did send were a long time coming). Overall, it seemed to me that the Laszlo support was lacking compared to what I've found with Flex.

Ive used it quite a bit.
