This is the perfect venue for a man of your pedigree. I'm glad the Mac Dev Center is gaining some traction, and it is good to see your mug and read your thoughts on things Apple and related.


I have to agree with earlier posters about Frontier. Dave means well, but Frontier was just a pain in the butt to use, and he was not willing to flex because of his principles. I'm glad for all the work he does for the community, but sometimes he doesn't seem to realize that his way of grokking things isn't everyone else's way.


As for Adobe, I say, "waaaaahhhh!" They've taken their relationship with Apple for granted for too long, and they've habitually blamed Apple for quarterly profit woes, et. al. Whiile they've done a good job of supporting OS X with their flagship apps, they've failed to impress with Premier or Acrobat for OS X. The comarketing fiasco with Intel that talked about Premier being better on Wintel didn't help matters.

    Adobe's been gouging for nearly two decades - their treatment of typeface licensing on the LaserWriter was nothing short of a money-grab. And come ON - $150 every year for Illustrator upgrades? If you milked a cow that way it would die in a week. Adobe's Mahogany Row Gang needs to wake up and live in the real world with the rest of us. Adobe is digging their own grave, great apps notwithstanding.
