I know you think this is funny or trivial, but do you really think such things don't force executives to make product line-level decisions? Remember Allaire getting purchased by Macromedia? Do you know what happens when board members and stockholders (and stockholders' lawyers) demand profit in the face of a major net worth loss like this? Do you have any idea how many major companies at this very moment are having exploratory meetings regarding the potential purchase of all or part of Macromedia because it can suddenly be purchased at a much, much cheaper price than it could even yesterday, and because it will most likely take a long time to regain the ground just lost? Do you have any idea how many top-level Macromedia executives are nervously meeting late at night tonight discussing potential product line changes (abandoning, selling, combining)?
Neither do I, but it is something to think about.

Just a little "heads up" for everyone. Respectfully, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
