Yeah, interesting that right below this article they have a link to "47 comment in the Happy Fun Slander Corner!". Idiots on parade. At Java One the JRun presentation was small but important. What we're most likely dealing with here is the wake from the initial lay offs that came in the Allaire buy out. Someone's pissed. What you'll need to do on this is weigh the reason why Macromedia bought Allaire. For substance. Without it, they've been fluff and front end built for designers and the light hearted. In other words, just waiting to go down in flames when someone invents something with b*lls. And without the Allaire addition someone would. Hell, it might have been one of us if the mood stuck us. So look at the market. Weigh the importance of backend structure in a completely front end company, and go from there. I think we're fine. Matt Matthew L.
