Re: FLASH: New Macromedia.com site

[King McCarthy]

Tim,


If you change your resolution to 640 x 480 and try to select the last few

choices on the products pulldown, they can't be reached. Now that's just

fundamental. Last I checked, somewhere around 10% of users are at still at

640 x 480.  That's 1 in 10.  Doesn't seem too functional.  I think it was

easier before despite the resolution. It just looks boring as well.;>(


regards,


King
