I hear you, Mike, and I'm sorry you're getting your lunch pissed on today.
Know this: I'm a developer for a small college using ColdFusion MX, Flash MX, DWMX, and Homesite. We've been a ColdFusion campus since version 3. I *love* your products. I *love* your support folks. I would like to see Macromedia continue to do well. I'm a loyal customer. Here's how I read your .04%: Macromedia's marketing info says the site gets a million customers a day. That article is here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mmwebsite/articles/devnet_experience.html four tenths of one percent of one million (1,000,000 * .004) = 4,000 customers hitting your site per day using Opera. So, is this significant to you or not? Maybe it isn't. I can see the corporate attitude being, "The amount of customers we have, those 4k can hang." What do you think? Is that the case?

Regardless, we are working with Opera to resolve the issue. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Willy Ray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:52 AM Subject: Re: New MM.com > I appreciate that you guys are getting hammered here.
