that's you're example? I've had livecd's become useless run
environments due to IO problems... tell me your test was at least a
livecd environment loaded completely into ram.

no. don't do games much anymore. I personally don't care about them. I
have seen several decent js examples of games and canvas and whatever.
But I do believe in this stuff needing to be supported across all
major vendors before it's ready. It's not supported yet. I hate IE,
and I might leave 'features out' of my IE support but I think that
even IE users should be able to access my content. The reason I
believe this is I know how many site's screwed us for years (and still
are). I don't want to be screwed and I'm not screwing anyone else.
