=2E.. but Gecko can do it with XBL...

I don't see why Flash is so cool when you can already do the same stuff
it does with a decent web browser *cough* mozilla *cough*.  Well, ok, so
I do, its because IE went and implemented all these evil non-standard
things, and didn't bother to implement the really cool standard ones.

Gecko is open, Gecko is free, and Gecko is an _amazing_ application
development framework.

*AND* you can do it all in Ruby with http://rbxpcom.mozdev.org
