For keepers, before Adobe "killed mobile Flash", Adobe
a) killed PageMaker and attempted to kill Freehand by buying Aldus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldus
They developed their own inDesign software and buried PageMaker six feet in the
ground. Freehand was the main competitor to Illustrator. It turned out that the
Freehand software was Altsys', which licenced Macromedia to distribute
Freehand. Aldus possessed Digital Darkroom, which was an early competitor of
Photoshop.
b) killed Macromedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromedia for Flash, and
again, for Freehand. There is currently an attempt to resurrect Freehand on a
more or less open source basis.
So do not expect me to shed a tear on the death of mobile Flash. I wish it will
also die on the desktop. Who knows? maybe this will put some life into the
revolution browser plugin. That is all I hope.
Best,
François
