RE: Ben's J2EE Book
This I have to see you say a complete 'novice' at Flash? Is this course only going to cover the basics of Rich Internet apps rather than using Flash as it was designed e.g. animation etc...? Flash is great tool for some compelling work on the internet, but there are also some dreadfully 'the same' apps completed with Flash..Shape Tweening/Morphing, crappy music etc... Thing is, not everyone is going to be a great Flash programmer, as you need to be a good animator, and not everyone falls into this camp. I am intriqued to see if can actually indeed allow a novice to build 'complete applications'! If its good, I suggest getting it on DesDev :-) Neil -Original Message- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 September 2002 20:45 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Ben's J2EE Book I want to +1 this.

And if I add this to a template : cfoutput#LSCurrencyFormat(100, Local)#/cfoutput and nothing else I get this : £100.00 It is all to do with the Locale of your Windows install, there is a known bug in Windows which, if you set the locale after a new install the system does not update the new locale...

Hi Dick :-) Good points, but they are still not sturdy enough for hi-end client or any type of server environment. I know you are a Mac-man and indeed will push it much like a Microsoftian :-p but in this case you can go on and on about it, and it will still always come down to the fact that they wont be as good as Windoze (or others) for development or serving.. As for a floppy (just one example), lets say I have a 1.2 meg file which I dont want to email to myself as I only have a 56K connection, I want to move it to my other machine which has no Zip and I dont want to waste a CD on the data i.e. USE A FLOPPY!

I am curious, what do you use a floppy for? Is it the requirement of your OS or your application? I haven't needed or used a floppy drive in 4 years -- The Mac OS works very nicely with floppy or CD Images. These can be copied to hard disk, uploaded, downloaded, emailed, burned to CD (and yes, even copied to a floppy disk). all Macs come with NFS and AFP networking hardware and software built in with a real plug and play interface -- you don't even require a crossover cable to connect 2 Macs -- The hardware/software determines the type of ethernet cable and adjusts accordingly. All Macs come with a web server: Apache. all Macs come with internet connection hardware, software and free trial internet connection All Macs come with a free 20 MB personal disk space on an Apple web Server (this will change soon to $99/year for 100MB disk space plus some other goodies). sneaker-net is not needed All of the above can be used to exchange files -- If you really need a floppy you can get one for about $100 (last time i looked) I priced up the same configuration on an iMac I'm intrigued Was it running Windows :-)? No, Mac OSX, but you could get an emulator Virtual PC for $90 (if you already own Win) or $90 -$140 more if you want to buy win 98, XP Home, or Win200. This also allows you to emulate other Intel OSes such as RH Linux. So, dollar-wise, I think the cost of the Mac is still lower cost.
