Oh yes, Macromedia. I was kind of disappointed when Macromedia was absorbed.
That made only one graphic source, one monopoly. There are still a few bit
players (Corell is still around?) but no serious competition.

I guess keeping up with deploying the latest Flash client to every station
and laptop has become a bit of an issue and Apples refusal to use it has
made Flash a suspected product...Besides flash sites are not web searchable.

So in summary it is good to see Adobe get on the program. Now if we can just
get MS to stay on the wagon and not try to make preemptive changes to HTML5,
life for web developers will be good. ;-)

Hi Jim,
(Nit-picking: Adobe didn't create Flash, they bought it.) I was kind of
surprised that they didn't integrate it directly into Flash's UI but I guess
the hardcore Adobe staff probably took advantage of the situation to rid
themselves of a lot of editorial comments such as:
"Macromedia made it but they just bought it and they've just modified it to
look like an Adobe product".  ;o)

It looks like Adobe, the staunch supporter and creator of Flash, has now
tentatively embraced HTML5. 

For those interested you can download their (beta) version of their new
applications call "Adobe Edge Preview" at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_edge

There is also a number of samples and documentation available.

(Note: You may have to sign in but there is no charge or hidden installs.)
