I know I will open up a can of worms here, but I don't really care. I  
prefer Flash reports. Reports that are presentational, like pies and  
charts, deserve a presentational delivery. As I've demonstrated for  
the group, PHP and Flash can produced spectacular results together.

While I understand that free and open source are very important to  
many in this group, business demands force me to go for superior  
excellence, wherever it may take me. While static graphs are not bad  
per se, they simply don't rise to spectacular.

Let the flaming begin.....
