While looking at news articles about the buyout, I noticed a few interesting things in the Bloomberg news...
Paragraph one of the article: "April 18 (Bloomberg) -- Adobe Systems Inc., the world's largest maker of graphic-design software, agreed to buy Macromedia Inc. for about $3.4 billion to add Flash Web-design programs to its offerings. " Wow.. $3.4 billion seems like a lot to pay for Flash, doesn't it? Paragraph 3: "Macromedia's Flash Player, which displays moving images and sound on Web pages, is installed in more than 98 percent of Internet-connected desktop computers. By buying Macromedia, Adobe Chief Executive Bruce Chizen, 49, is reducing reliance on his flagship Acrobat software, used by graphics professionals." Aside from the ridiculous oversimplification of the flash player, no other macromedia products are mentioned in the article. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000006&sid=axwg53VQvr0U&refer=home - Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:203206 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
