That's a good example of why I'm doing the presentation that I'm  
doing. A lot of people believe in their own tool a lot and don't spend  
any time finding out the abilities of other tools. Many people believe  
that HyperCard and Revolution are only good for making address book  
stacks. Director is only any use for making slide shows, Flash can  
only do online games.

There is an overlap between the Flash crowd and the Rev crowd, and  
that's with standalone applications. The Flash crowd can make  
applications that are delivered via AIR, or Internet applications  
using Flex. Those are the kinds of things that Rev can also do, and  
most likely in a faster, more cross platform friendly way. If I can  
show example like that, the people using Flex may well reluctantly be  
impressed!
