Macromedia Press Release

I swear, if Adobe fucks up one button in Flash or Dreamweaver, I’m going to rip their balls off.

    Hahah! That was my first thought, or at least very similar, when I saw the article on Slashdot: Uh oh. What’s gonna happen to Macromedia’s stuff?

    Macromedia makes quality stuff. I only really started using their stuff last year. I had tried Flash earlier, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. It wasn’t until last year when I took Web Page Development I & II. In Web II, we started using Flash and Fireworks and Dreamweaver. Fireworks freaking rocks. It has replaced Photoshop for many things (though Photoshop is still indespensible for me). I have gotten the hang of Flash now, but Dreamweaver still escapes me. It feels as if I have no control over anything in the page.

    Back on topic: Hopefully only good things will come of this merger/buy-out.

    Yeah. Adobe isn’t gaged towards consumer benefits. It’d better be smart, or the Macromedia products will be ruined forever.

    Haha :D

    Okay, so when you are going to rip those balls off, tell me first. I’m so going to come and take pictures of it. If they turn out to be from a good angle or something, I can make some money out of it.

    No, seriously, I don’t think that Adobe is going to fuck anything up. They handle soo much great things that Macromedia doesn’t. We can porbably get even something good from this. :P

    Heh hopefully. Flash 8 is said to have almost all the vector features that are currently in Photoshop and Illustrator. I guess that kind of a hint.
