good Rev demos

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Colin,

I don't think that you will be able to impress those Flash programmers  
much. They want to make on-line games and while that's about the only  
thing Flash is capable of, it does it much better than Revolution will  
ever do. If you were to compare Revolution with Filemaker, you might  
impress your audience with readily available server and database  
capabilities in a very flexible and easily adjustable interface.  
Perhaps you might also find a grateful public amongst web programmers  
who use a combination of Perl, Python, MySQL and Apache, now that  
Revolution is less demanding if used as a CGI engine. Naturally, you  
might try a comparison between RealBasic, SuperCard, HyperStudio 5 (if  
that's ever released), XCode and .NET. You will probably be able to  
find some people who'd like to switch to Revolution. Flash however...  
nah... no chance, Flash is too different. They'll just shrug.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
