We'll finally get flash movies that don't eat CPU cycles like candy but take about 3 days to load.

Adobe is pretty much untouchable now. Personally, I always hated the marcomedia interface/gui anyway, but competition was always a good thing...

Another mega-merger, great news.
Why don't Dell, Compaq, IBM and Apple all combine for "more efficient solutions" and "added value to customers," it would be a terrific idea.

What would be nice is if Adobe used Macromedia's browser interface to make acrobat have better browser support. I never trust loading that fucking thing up in a browser.Eraser wrote:We'll finally get flash movies that don't eat CPU cycles like candy but take about 3 days to load.
