RE: FLASH: Macs, Marketshare, Federico and my attitude

[Kevin Jackson]

Wasting a bit of bandwidth here myself.


Ferderico pointed out off list that these things recently have taken on a

life of their own and that it was refresshing that we both immediately tried

to clear things up rather than let it go on. I think if all of us would be

able to talk to each other rather than rely on our ability to write without

being misunderstood most of our disagreements would disappear.


I guess it says something about both of us that we were up all night and

working on FLASH and this list's postings. Perhaps I should take Russ's

advice and not post after 2:30 am.


A question I asked, Federico in private was whether there was a good

resource for things to take into account when designing for the MAC. I'd be

interested in any replies to this.


Additionally, the original question still stands although hopefully in a

more pleasantly worded fashion.


How do you all decide which platform, browser to design for and which are

probably more effort than they are worth? Are there sites whose information

you feel is more unbiased and accurate? Are there sites, suggestions etc for

making things as inclusive as possible while at the same time being

practical.

To clarify perhaps a bit further, most of my work has not been for the web

and when dealing with browsers I have had the luxury of knowing what browser

my audience is using because the files are for an intranet. The questions I

asked were questions I am literally trying to address for my companies

future.
