Egad, you are living in Dreamland. Business A exists. Business B 

arises. Will Business A survive? This is NOT a redundant or 

meaningless question in any way!


>Competition is always good for business, it keeps prices lower.


PLZ Mary.


Competition KILLS some businesses, including some whose product 

didn't deserve to die. And MM has much more of a recent history of 

embarrassing guffaws than Adobe does. Who knows where things may lead?


This is real life.

p.s. I find it amusing that my use of the word "*sic*" has lead to 

all of this speculation about what I meant. You guys should be 

reading your new Flash books instead :-) .


p.p.s. ... and I should be, too, insteada writing these ...

"In particular, I was musing about where Flash would be in a couple 

of years.  Right now, it's been delivered to a vast number of 

clients, either by being packaged with a browser, or via a download. 

Developers are now developing Flash content that is small yet 

effective visually.  It seems to offer lots of design possibilities. 

Will it still be here in 3 years?  Adobe, who has deeper pockets than 

Macromedia, has announced a Flash competitor.  Will Macromedia 

survive?  Will their vision and focus, so far unsullied [*sic*], 

survive?"
