And the mac help. Platform wars are so... ridiculous. If you work only for

yourself (and pretty much only with yourself), you have the option of

choosing, but if the company you work for works on

mac/windows/unix/whatever, you do the work on whatever they have/whatever

they tell you to, and if you change jobs you might change platforms as well.

And suddenly you find you *need* the information you've been disparaging. Or

if your client asks you how to get something to work. Most of us work for a

living - we try to use a) whatever gets the job done, b) whatever we're told

or c) whatever we know how to do. What I like best is strictly left for my

home machine, and even then, if I bring work home, it has to be compatable

with what's available at work. Having someone that understands mac systems

well enough to provide the kind of information Frederico provides is

*invaluable* not just to those of us currently on macs, but to those of us

who will ever be (and who knows?), or who will ever come in contact with

someone who is, and to those of us who want our flash sites to work as well

for our mac audience as for anyone else.


Frederico, about the only thing I can imagine is that this person is jealous

because you're a bright, knowledgeable, and helpful person able to provide

something he/she can't. I know that probably doesn't help much... hopefully

they'll stop and leave the rest of us with a desparately needed resource.
