Hank, Your comments are perfectly reasonable (and I'm not sure that any answer would be satisfying).
I've spent most of my life working in large company/corporate environments. >From my experience, some companies will embrace the trend we've been talking about and have no problem with infrastructure (as you say). These companies weren't the focus of my question. Next come large companies for which infrastructure may or may not be there (I have worked on very large projects where the only link to a customer site has been via dial-up). Even large companies might not embrace the trend, but might have been won over by our flexcoder friends. Lastly, and probably the real focus of my query is putting Flex into a company that doesn't have a big budget IT department or infrastructure, and here there are the barriers I talked about - loss of connectivity (and functionality) of a business critical App. Some of our flecoder friends might have some interesting ideas/stories here. So carry on commenting - I'm not arguing about the trend!

Paul, Sorry Paul. I feel like I am derailing your question and that is not my intent. But I did think that this was a "trend" question. "how do companies react to the idea of remotely served applications that are important/critical to the business?" I realize that my answer isnt exactly what you want to hear, but my experience is that there is not much of an issue and there are few problems with company's implementing remote applications. Perhaps unlike your wife's school, in corporate environments, internet connection is like telephone service. It is critical, and companies are used to depending on it being available. I dont have any anecdotes because I have never heard anyone say what you are asking. I have heard horror stories with in-house installations that have caused people to move to remote applications. I'm sure there are some circumstances where your concern is an issue (like securities and banking) but by and large I dont think its an issue. At this point I fully realize this is not a satisfying answer based on the perspective you are coming from, but I just wanted to be clear, FWIW. I'll shut up now:) Regards Hank ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
