RE: FLASH: GABO Wars!(well, sort off)

[Phillip Kerman]

Just too keep the debate going...


Isn't "gabo" too busy to accept any projects?  I guess they're too busy to

read lists like this too.


Hey, how about this for a "conspiracy theory"--I always wondered if Gabo

didn't really exist.  That Macromedia invented him to popularize Flash.

Just a theory--I don't think it's the case, but it does keep me pondering

sometimes.


I think Gabo is revolutionary.  I always show it (first) to the Flash

classes I teach (many people still haven't seen it).  I do have one minor

criticism (and this is not sour grapes):  some parts are "interfaces for the

sake of interfaces".  Like "revolver"--okay, I understand there's not

content--it's just a concept... but let's say you wanted content--where

would you put it?  The whole thing is an interface and anytime you

"navigate" you just get animation--no content.   Besides that, I think it's

amazing...  Oh, I also think the "don't bother asking, we're far too busy to

consider accepting your work" comment is a bit much.  Makes me laugh.
