Re: FLASH: OT: Flashkiller

[Russell E. Unger]

I believe the comment was "This is hilarious...I thought it was a joke, but it

is for real." or something like that (without scrolling down and looking).


Making fun?  I don't think so.  Making an observation is more like it--the site

is on a product that has the gall to call itself "Flash Killer".  Anything +

Killer has got to take a lot of guff...and then to go and say that it's good

enough to destroy that which has made it possible to exist...well, you decide.


HOWEVER, do note the design of the site.  That design is beyond basic and

definitely not a great promo for the 'great company' that will, indeed, help

make Flash more widespread.  It will also make it a lot easier for those of us

that dive into prototyping and other high-end Flash usage to continue on with

what we love--the tool will begin creating eye-candy junkies by the thousands,

and the standards bar will, in turn, be raised.


But, I digress.  All I'm really trying to say is that you have probably

misinterpreted the point of the original post.
