good Rev demos

[Mark Schonewille]

Lynn,

My point is that one doesn't need any additional expensive software  
to turn Revolution into a server, while Filemaker does require a  
special server/developer version. That's a good way to impress  
Filemaker users, I'd say.

My second point is that software users who use mainly Flash won't be  
impressed by Revolution's capabilities to make interactive  
animations. To make those people use Rev, you first need to convince  
them that they don't want to make interactive animations :-)

 From a company's point of few, it is surely a good thing to have  
more than one tool available for specialised tasks.

Best,

Mark
