Thanks, Dan! I keep thinking this is the best way to get a huge audience to take \
JavaFX for a spin. Since I'm laboring away in obscurity, the kind words help \
immensely (and I know we share similar visions :-).

If the average developer requires months of learning to appreciate JavaFX the way we \
do, we may not have enough runway to get off the ground. At NeXT (anyone remember \
it?), the ability to create an instant runnable prototype with Interface Builder was \
one of our most redeeming accomplishments (the other, of course, being Mac OS X :-). \
Javi with JavaFX takes it to a whole new level.
