Yes, I have a working copy of Microbrew, and a MacOS 8.1 partition to 
boot from. Perhaps I should be using Windows screenshots, since more Java 
Developers are probably using Windows.

I'll try to do a quick Director/Schockwave project this weekend, 
animating dragging some things from the toolbar, etc to create a quick 
hello world. I don't think it would be as easy to capture the simplicity 
of Microbrew in html alone but, as always, comments welcome.

>From Scott:

I made the screenshots when we thought the source would open up. I think 
maybe if we are careful with the wording, we might be okay.

"The members of the serious project loved how easily applications could 
be built using Microbrew. This legendary ease of use will also be the 
basis for the Serious Project."

As an aside, did Novell also buy the rights to the name Serious when they 
purchased Serious Programmer (or whatever it was called)? The 
MacOS/Windows debate shows that maybe its okay to borrow a paradigm, but 
I'm not sure if we can borrow the name...

Thanks,
