When will Macromedia officially realize that there is so much more future and money in eLearning compared to eCommerce.???

Not that eCommerce is to fade away, but eLearning have a much higher potential regarding growth and profits - not to forget: Great learning experiences!!!

Then all this comparison of pageturners vs. Authorware will eventually fade away.

Come on Macromedia! Show us that your company recognize eLearning as a profitable future! Come on Macromedia! Show us that your company recognize your great, hardworking staff at the Authorware Product Line! (None mentioned - none forgot!)

Just my 0.02 Danish kroner, £, $ or whatever currency you are in to.

Maybe I need to go to sleep now !!! I´m getting a bit sentimental.

Best regards to you all at this marvelous list !!
