We bought it after conducting an RFP that ended up ruling out Raiser's Edge because of complexity and (in-house) support issues. We have a very small (2 people) Development department, and an IT department that needs another major application to support like a hole in the head. In addition to fund raising and development, we use it for mail list management. After 2 years of use, it has proven almost entirely trouble-free. I also like those guys because just before Katrina hit they invited me to zip up the database and ftp it to their server.

[MCN-L] Membership and Donor Database Question (Janet M Strohl-Morgan)
troduc.html?nav=rss_blog Today, Reps. Rich Boucher (D-Va.) and John Dolittle (R-Calif.) introduced what they call the Freedom and Innovation Revitalizing U.S. Entrepreneurship (or FAIR USE) Act they say will make it easier for digital media consumers to use the content they buy. I have to confess that I was struck by the clumsiness of the name of the bill -- until it dawned on me that FAIR USE is -- you guessed it -- its acronym. There are probably congressional staff who sit around making up these names, and that thought alone is depressing.

I would like to know who uses flash as a standard to serve up audio and video within html or database driven web pages. If you do, do you stream the files? And how many files do you serve up - are there bandwidth or performance issues? I would like to know who in our community uses flash for serving media and what configuration/set up works for you. I appreciate any information you can share. Thank you.
