John,

The THW CEO led me to some good news about Macromedia. Maybe he is a Macromedia shareholder? I do remember him saying a few months back that he financed THW back in 1995 from cashing in many different high tech investments that he had. One I do remember was that he said he sold his Corel stock at $29.00 CDN back in 1995 or something just before the WordPerfect announcement when Corel was at that real high.

He obviously knew something back then. They are miserably low now and not looking healthy. Real low now. Maybe he owed Macromedia and sold some of it also to finance THW. Who knows, but he sounds like he has an investment in Macromedia the way he talks to me and some others that call there to check out certain information etc. Sometimes I think I get him a little pissed from calling him so much.

He said I should save it all up and call once a week so he can get some work done.

Anyways. The information on Mac The Knife looks great.

Mac the Knife: Director's cut
The Knife casts his vote for new features destined to surface in Version 7.0 of Macromedia's multimedia authoring package.

Speaking of bareback rides on dark horses: As this illicit beta cheesecake demonstrates, Macromedia is putting the finishing daubs of high-gloss enamel on Director 7.0, the latest installment of the company's venerable multimedia authoring package.

According to some former GOP strategists busily squeegeeing the Knife's windshield just this morning, this swell new version will pack tasty Mac interface tweaks; new palettes; enhanced Web support, including more Shockwave features; and an assortment of Bezier-based vector-drawing tools.

If the Knife's pollsters are correct, by the first night of Kwanzaa Director 7.0 should come slithering down eager users' chimneys with the grace of a heavily greased Trent Lott.
