I'm sorry you feel this way, Justin, but if you could, then could you take

advantage of the feedback form when it comes out? I believe I heard Lynda

say that an email address for the survey will arrive soon after the

conference.


I know that lynda.com and United Digital Artists are both businesses that

try to satisfy their customers, so if you could tell them what worked for

you, what didn't, and what you still needed, then I believe that could help

everybody in the future.


Some of the things at that show were a surprise to folks at Macromedia,

too, but it'd be great for all concerned if their businesses met your

needs, thanks.



For me, I enjoyed it greatly... I've been to a lot of conferences, but this

one had a unique buzz. Part of it was walking up to Nob Hill and seeing

these geeky people all over that hightone street, I liked that! 8)


It was extremely cool to finally meet some of the folks on this list

face-to-face, although it's always frustrating to realize you might be

standing next to someone you know and never realize it 'cause you've never

seen them before... I can't wait until we get some type of wireless

connectivity devices that make eworld-to-realworld migrations easier....

;-)


One thing that various Macromedians have commented on is how so many folks

have found new lives for themselves in this work... many attendees are now

making a good living doing creative work they enjoy, through Flash... it

was beautiful to see what a real difference this new medium was making in

people's lives. On the other side, folks at Macromedia really get off on

the creative work that designers are putting out. This mutual-appreciation

aspect was my single biggest takeaway from this get-together.



But please do let lynda.com and UDA know how you'd like their upcoming

events in New York and Europe to adapt... that would be very valuable

information, thanks in advance.
