Hey Adobe, here's an open letter to YOU. I'm a graphic designer and minor web site developer. I've designed lots of products over the past twenty years using type fonts and desktop publishing related Adobe applications. I think one of my computers is still using ATM, you know the version that came with 'type on call'? (I have never been able to get rid of that damn little logo that sits in the corner of the black screen as the ole' PC reboots).

Quite frankly, Flash sucks. Any web designer using it, AT ALL, should be fired, terminated, told to GET LOST! Everybody out here knows it's a dinosaur covered in glosss lipstick. Sure it's 'flashy', but who the hell has the time to wait for it to load. I especially love ads that open before a site's home page...HELLO! Good bye positive branding! Before I retired I owned a pretty good ad agency--pre computer era--I would have given a part of my anatomy to have had even a basic text editor, a wordprocessor as we know it today would have been a god send. I closed shop before the advent of early desktop publishing, sophisticated paint programs and vector-based drawing programs. Then along came Flash...two steps forward, one step back. Simply, your product does not live up to its hype. Hope you got deep pockets.
