This Weeks Sign that FrameMaker is Dead
I just received a message that Adobe FrameMaker is now a sponsor of Techwr-l. Surely the only reason they would do this as a part of a massive campaign to announce its end or life. : ) --- Mike Feimster IDD Technical Analyst ACS Technologies 180 N.

It's so clever it must be true. Those people at Adobe and their dastardly evil scheming minds. Next thing you know, they'll announce that they are splitting the product in two parts and selling one to Arbortext for structure and the other to Microsoft as a replacement for Word. Crafty. Mike, you are a genius to see through this shallow attempt at making a product viable. We all know (me especially) that Adobe has been planning to end this product since the moment they bought it. At release 5. In the mid 90's. They must just be taking their time, waiting until we don't suspect and then they will pounce. I'll bet the official announcement comes out in early, early April. :) To see how crafty they are, check out the home page. http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/ Bernard -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+bernard=publishingsmarter.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+bernard=publishingsmarter@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Mike Feimster Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 8:34 AM To: 'Framers List' Subject: This Weeks Sign that FrameMaker is Dead I just received a message that Adobe FrameMaker is now a sponsor of Techwr-l.

I'm not sure who exactly "Adobe FrameMaker" is? I thought Adobe Systems was the company and FrameMaker the product. Could "Adobe FrameMaker" be a new organization with plans to take FrameMaker onto more platforms? Let's hope so. I'm glad to see "Adobe FrameMaker" only took Silver sponsorship. I'd hate to think that any more cash was being spent on advertising, especially when net profits were only $144.9 million for the previous quarter, up 39% on the year. Gosh! Discontinuing Mac FrameMaker because Mac users didn't buy a product that Adobe never made (i.e., FrameMaker for Mac OS X) really has paid dividends. Paul
