You know me better than that ;-) It's a live chat system with no flash in sight. No DB either, the whole thing is stored in Memcached. When you post a message it should take no longer than a second to get to all other people present. On the server-side it has a tiny footprint of less than 2MB per 20 concurrent users. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/
