Macromedia, the end is near... well, the name, that is...

It looks like the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia will close on Saturday:

There's the ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." Let's hope they're not TOO interesting, if you know what I mean!!! :-)

In all seriousness, I am really looking forward to the future. Back when Allaire and Macromedia were merging, I thought, "Wow, the two companies whose software I use the most will soon be a single company. What a company this will be!!! Now, only if Adobe could also merge, I'd be set!" Well, it may have taken almost five years, but it appears that I got my wish. I think the new company will finally take ColdFusion and Flex to where they should be... and I look forward to the new suites and software that comes out of this. All is good... and just in time for Christmas!!!
