RE: FLASH: Adobe's flash killer and Italian Popes

[c mullen]

I'd say the pope is Italian to a point. InDesign 1.0

(debuting in 1999) IS a better application than XPress

4.1 (rooted in 1980s technology) if you compare the

features of the two (e.g., typograpical, graphic

handling, etc.). And it's definitely resulted in Quark

scrambling to revamp XPress...Not necessarily a bad

thing. 


I really like Macromedia and Flash. And it's safe to

say they aren't nearly as complacent as the Quark

corporation. But if a streamlined Adobe product (i.e.,

a version 1.0 created with year 2000 technology)

debuts at the level of Flash 4.0, who knows...?

Competition is a good thing, despite what Redmond

tells you.

>Had something to do with Quark. Flash killer? Right, 

>and the pope is Italian.
