Yes I believe he said so. I think though that his remark had to do with
Flash being so completely detached from the web as he intended it to be
i.e. Open instead of (Flash-like) cryptic and closed.
The idea behind Flash though I think is good. If you compare for example my
flash animation for Peter's site (www.q40.de) you will see that it is less
than 130K. The same thing with say DHTML (M$ crap) or Javascript would take
more than 300K *I know... I tried*.
With animated GIF it would take ooooohhh forget it :-) hehe
