Ah, so let me see if I have this right.


  'Here you are boys and girls.  You have this incredible tool

available to you where you can use your talents to inspire, possibly

even influence, tens of millions of people around the world. With the

use of Flash and the web you too can create -- in only one week -- a

cartoon skull that floats around and sings, "I'll kill you all

one-by-one", along with its little buddy, some inane little creature

that jumps around and can't wait to do it all over again.'


What's most disturbing to me is that Macromedia sees fit to feature

this waste of time. (Sorry Joe, this is my opinion.)


I created a Flash site.  It took 3 months to complete.  It has been

featured in Science magazine - both in print and online, in

Biomednet's HMS Beagle on-line web magazine, and The American Society

for Microbiology is recommending it as a teaching tool.  I have

received email from college professors from all over the world

praising it, telling me that they are requiring their virology

students to view it for their courses.  Now, several scientist are

working on getting funds to expand it to help spread AIDS awareness in

Asian countries where HIV has become a serious problem.


I submitted this site to Macromedia months ago.  So far it has been

flatly ignored.


Go figure. (I suspect it is way over their heads.)


I'm not bitter, just very afraid.
