hehe thanks for the kind words Mike. It doesn't bother me as I've learnt early in the piece "Where there is smoke, there better be fire and if there isn't fire, I'll light one". It's actually amazing to watch the cultures collide between Adobe and Microsoft. If you're a Microsoftee its like you're instantly on the sh8$t list before you even open your mouth.. even more hilarious was that this happened with people I knew for the past 10 years overnight (literally) change posture when around me...
I've never experienced racism, but I do have a glimpse of an understanding of what it's like to be judged by your exterior and less about what you do and what you've done. What really pisses me off though is that I get to pay for some random act of stupidity done by some idiot ~2002 and beyond. The hilarious part for me is that I walk into my office here at Redmond and a lot of the guys and girls I work with are actually ex-Macromedia ex-Adobe :) (that and Marc Anders for example, thermo brains trust is actually the guy behind ASP - not ASP.NETbut straight blend). Point is, this is a big industry, there are long memories and today's brand can be the hero whilst tomorrows brand can be the devil in disguise - Google and Apple are slowly finding this out! :) Be a student of software not brand, and Rae, in the most offensive manner I can portray - Bite me :) On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 9:09 PM, Mike Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Rae, I think you ought to lighten up on Scott- he's an ally of the > ColdFusion world.
