Re: FLASH: Al's Flaw (OT)

[Jeff Bradshaw]

I know this is all in good fun Al, but the fact still remains it's a dual

platform environment. The design community has supported the Mac for years and

there are a lot of die hard graphic designers that refuse to "join the dark

side." I myself would rather not have to deal with constantly having to cross

check compatibility with both browsers on both platforms. I think it's a real

pain, but, I would also like to mention that while negotiating project

contracts I don't forget to include the extra hrs necessary to produce the

cross platform product either. A lot of my peers design on Mac's and cross

check on PC's.


Bottom line. I don't believe in being a hardware bigot. Software bigot, you

bet. I think that software developers are partially responsible for the "us and

them" climate that exists by developing fantastic single platform apps. Most

likely driven by the bottom line sales. I myself think it's a healthy business

environment that supports both platforms. You know Al, "Chase the buck to keep

up with technology, so that the technology gained provides more opportunities

to chase the buck. You know, so you can chase the buck to keep up with the

technology so that....."
