good. as I said in the other thread, maybe Kronos and the other shitty corporations that still use it as their base product will fucking update their trash software.

i never got into flash. I remember I had a product guy ask me why I didn't like "RIA" I'm like "What's 'RIA'?" and he blurts out "Rich Internet Applications". I'm like "Oh, you mean flash?? yeah fuck that shit"

or java applets? silverlight? yeah... a security nightmare to say the least. Thank god for HTML canvas. EDIT: flash's strong point was its intuitive editor by Adobe. That product still exists, but is used for animating and not rendering flash apps.
