[flashpro] Adobe owns Macromedia

[Howell, John]

Come on guys, this is going to be a great thing.  Two of the worlds best
software creators getting together.  The outcome can only be better.  Adobe
does not have a history of getting rid of a product they purchase.  Look at
page maker.  They have kept it around and made improvements to it.  Now they
are taking all of that experience and creating InDesign, a product that is
set to blow Quark out of the water.  If they stay true to  what they have
done in the past, they will keep all the products of macromedia and make
them their own.  Just think of the advantages of Photoshop integration with
flash, shockwave, director.  Think of the scripting possibilities in
Photoshop or Illustrator if action script is ever integrated.  Flash paper
and Acrobat could learn a lot from each other.  Oh, and not to mention if
you are a Mac person.  Apple and Adobe may as well be brother and sister.


I think this is a great thing.



Sorry I got in late on the conversation.
