Actually, I *do* remember -- I still have my old FutureSplash cd, complete
with the funky crab. But to me this is one of the great success stories of
Macromedia -- that they saw this superior product produced by like 9 or 10
guys, bought the company and rather than crush it they made it the
centerpiece of their offering. They hired much of the FutureWave staff and
have consistently improved Flash while staying true to it's original vision.
It's because of that sort of history that I think Macromedia could do
wonders for Allaire. Frankly, I think Macromedia has an understanding of
business that Allaire has never quite managed to acquire.
As a FutureWave customer I was hopeful when Macromedia acquired FutureWave,
and I wasn't disappointed by future releases. I am equally as excited about
the CF/MM merger, and if it works out as well as the futuresplash/flash
deal, i will be very very happy.
