Ya what up with the name "revolution"? Weird. Especially for a forth generation great grandson of a derivative. That is the real source of awkward. Product must be good.

'Twas I who asked that simple question; of course they never are. ;-) Like Chipp, I prefer Transcript. I do think that having the name of the language the same as the product is confusing. One also has the emotional and additional baggage that the word "Revolution" lugs around with itself. I asked because recently a potential client told me that 'real' programs are written in C++ (actually, he said "C"). He had heard of "C", maybe even seen it in a book or a movie like The Matrix. His understanding or knowledge of it all stopped there. However, he had money, wanted to do something, and 'had to have' "C" - period, end of story. Last year, the Le Web event was crawling with investors. Might be fewer or more this year. With a project in the competition I want (and need) to be prepared as well as I can. It's great to be able to tap into the combined wisdom and experience of this crowd in the Rev List. Congrats to those who are in a position to tell off potential clients who have uninformed views of writing software. I've got plenty of respect for people like Chipp and Richard who have lots of long standing client, they have surely earned them in various ways. I happen to be between adventures, I need to take advantage of a particular opportunity and don't want to screw up. Maybe I'm dumb enough to need advice but smart enough to ask ;-) When I win this 'thang' I will get to talk to people from the Wall Street Journal (Kara Swisher), Fred Wilson, Scoble, and others. When talking to them I will say www.RunRev.com - not Transcript or Revolution. sims _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
