RE: FLASH: Developers Choice

[Phillip Kerman]

Wayne,


I think that's a fine idea...really.  It just takes the time to do it.


But... let me defend Macromedia a bit (and I'm normally the first to dish

out the criticism where appropriate).  They may be biased toward one TYPE of

example over another--but that's the nature of opinions (they're biased).

In all my dealings with Macromedia I have never felt there was a conspiracy

to only include "insiders".  They had a little "user group" meeting last

year and invited anyone who had organized a "Macromedia Users Group"--but it

wasn't like you had to pay them to be part of the club.  They respected

everyone... disclosed information that you might not even expect from a

users conference, and were sincerely appreciative of their customers.


(Compare this defense next time you hear me complaining.)


Seriously, they're pretty good guys.


Phillip Kerman
