I'll accept that restatement, Will. My intent was not that there was no footprint on the client, but that the user could go to a URL and would be able to launch what they need to from there. So, shockwave is fine, Java Web Start is fine and anything else that could be installed by users going to this web page and "clicking here" and that is maintained something like Adobe pdf readers would be fine.

I'd rephrase Dawn's statement to say that perhaps you are using client software that "the average person would ALREADY have installed" such as a browser, a jpg viewer, a mp3 player, etc. Will -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
