I know it is a pain migrating stuff.. so I am sympathetic (having been there many times)... however... why pull the plug on things...?? they can afford a different system for development and migrate it over to production...
the best part is that they say if YOU BOUGHT A PRODUCT see you in several days to download it... I know if I was in that situation some tech support person would be sending me the file via FTP or else... and yeah I let them slide on the site design... not to be a stickler... but the FLASH in there might make it spiffy, but it slows people like me down... and slowing me down is frustrating... time is money as we all say... At any rate, Macromedia does fine as design for designers... but I don't thing the new site plays well for those of us that write code instead of coloring - coloring books better than the other kids... One key annoyance... I have to click on a menu to fold it down to get other options... when I arrive at the next page, the thing is folded back up... create redundancy and wastes time finding where I just clicked and the same linear stream... Obviously, the implementation team at MM is far detached from the CF community that used the Allaire incarnation for years... -paris -----Original Message----- From: Tom Nunamaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 23:19 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Macromedia's destruction of the Allaire Site... I already wrote MM about this too.
