Well, my father said it happened last night.
And, unless he's trying to influence the stock market somehow through me (as if like I'm a useful rumor mill...), he's one to know his stuff. |

Aye, some interesting notes of topic: Adobe and Macromedia used to compete w/ each other for the best product making each line known for what it has today. However, now w/ the merger, one wonders if they're going to merge their software packages; or in general how this will affect future software development... |

Actually, computers are weird economics. Sometimes if giants merge, it opens up room for more... geek friendly programs to take the spotlight or even start developing. |
