And nothing against you Christian i'm sure if it was upto you they would "test" these things first so you didn't have to listen to us complain :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Cantrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:12 AM Subject: Re: New Macromedia.com launched!
The new macromedia.com is certainly a "next generation" site, and unfortunately, there are going to be issues like the ones you mention below. I hope people can take the time to let us know when they find things like this by going to the following URL: http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/mm_feedback.html I remember when I first used OS X (also a complete re-write and "next generation" project) it was VERY rough at first, and had issue ranging from performance to compatibility. Over time, however, it has really been refined into an excellent and extremely advanced OS. To some extent, these types of issues are the price you pay when you take big steps forward. Someone has to be pushing the envelope, though, and I'm glad it's Macromedia.
