Memories

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I remember doing all the telephone support for Claris / Filemaker in the early 90's. Filemaker Pro 2.1 was so far above the dreadful Microsoft attempts at databases at the time. The only reason it didn't become more estabIished was because Microsoft starting bundling Access into Office. I haven't heard it mentioned in IT/development deps for ages.

Silverlight?

Interesting reading people's take on Flash's future in light of Apple deciding it's persona non grata in its ithings. Personally I think HTML5 will remove many of the reasons for it's use in the browser; but mentioning Silverlight as a possible replacement is crazy. It may have a place hooking into .net apps but it's hardly a speck on the horizon to the average Creative person.

More likely web designers will code sites to sniff out ipad users and present them with a simpler, static, non-flash version of the site.

At last?

Blimey, after 10 years Motorola bring out a good phone, surely shome mishtake!
