dotnetcharting.com : ASP.NET Chart and Charting for .NET - .netCHARTING enables your web site to display massive amounts of dynamically generated data quickly and easily through a visual interface.

I will try it later today (soon as i get dotnet framework 1.1 installed)

Sigh, Enforced to reinstall. I have to re-install my windows 2000 today, because it's gone unstable, hard-drives even get lost! And Command-line doesn't regonize commands like "ipconfig" or "ping".. Weirdo!

Now i just try back-up everything imporant (Fla's, Sites, Pictures, Mp3z..)

Will see how long this process (backup, re-install, install software) takes, I think im done in three hours..

Matt Woodward's Blog: "Laszlo Systems just announced that their RIA platform is now open source and free for deployment. I haven't checked out Laszlo in a while so I'll have to revisit this. Based on the little bit of playing around I did today I get the sense that Flex is still a more robust, capable solution, but this is GREAT news for the advancement of RIAs." (entry is old but links there are up-to-date)

Laszlo is looking very nice and it IS Open Source, more info : http://www.openlaszlo.org/
Peldi's Little Blog: Focus on usability!: " It seems that the more expensive the software is, the less usable it is. Horrible."
