Brent - there is an outfit in vancouver BC who has already built an
internal web site -- complete with e-mail, project scheduling, etc --
all using Cold Fusion, JavaScript -- and it's an intranet "application"
that looks like Windows stuff.
If you want, I can try to find their name -- I think I may have written
it down last week. BTW, I /won/ a copy of CF Studio (yeah) so when I get
my G3 (I think I'm ordering a new powerbook next week) I plan to run CF
under Virtual PC.
