Damn, you guys are so good that I am just curling up here in bed with the flu and a hot cup of tea, reading this story and hoping that the little guys win. I always loved the Ewoks, after all, and felt that even though they had those little fly-type fingoids that were all feathery-feathery and stuff, they could still rollie up their sleevies and — with nothing up their sleeves — call forth the great fly-fullolith to take them all to the compligain foray to sort this one out — “Where at, man, dee thockist???”
A free copy of the new Creative Cow training disc to the first person who can tell me where that little bit of verbal nonsense came from???
I’ll give you a hint: There are but four Small Faces…

Damn, how would you like to quit coding and write for the Cow, Eric???
Will there be a movie? Or at least a cheap mini-series done by TNT???

I assume you are using Firefox on a Mac, am I correct?
The functions that you point out are Windows-only functions because they use a method not supported on the Mac and which draws on features that — if you are using Firefox on Windows — may not be supported there, either.
We are basically a Mac shop here and had to make the decision as to whether or not we’d add a function for Windows users that we ourselves could not use. We opted to give Windows users the feature even though I have never been able to use it myself. (Kathlyn uses both Macs and Windows when she surfs but I only use my Mac.)
As to the 52 million Firefox users, we get very very few Firefox users here at the Cow. (Like you, I use it myself but Firefox accounts for so few users here at the Cow that it is not even in the Top 15 browsers in our site statistics.)
We are working to replace the existing system and so we will not be amending this existing interface. We will be looking at adding this functionality to many more browsers in the new system and will if the ways exist to allow us to facilitate it.

[kenh] “I think the blood boiling point is directly proportional to the partial pressure of vaporware!”
Which is another way of saying that some people have never learned patience and have a very short fuse.
I hardly think that vapourware is a fair assessment when applied to a company that has repeatedly delivered on their promises and has been working with major partners like Apple and Adobe and others to assure that their products meet market expectations.
If you like something else, Ken, that’s your business but why repeatedly spend your time trying to crap on others???

Sorry about that, I will see that a link is added to the article.

[Peter Corbett] “…the only forums that regularly generate this heat is this one and the HDV room.”
Thanks for noticing, Peter. The HDV forum is far better today than it was over the last year and a half, though. The team there is doing a great job cleaning up the place in the aftermath of all that has gone on that forum, so it’s definitely improving and we expect that the HDV forum may actually become a part of the Cow soon.
:o)

Hey Jem!
It’s good to have you here and thanks for popping by the Cow booth to say “hello.” We always enjoy meeting the leaders and members of the Cow. Thanks for taking the time.
Best always,

[Barry Green] “… soon, Ron promises we will be able to edit posts..”
But as I said, there will only be a 30-minute-or-until-someone-responds window of operation and we will never expand the functionality beyond that basis.
Not wanting hopes set too high,

Hi Peter,
I had no idea that you worked at Macromedia for years. Are you still there?
I went to the demosondemand.com website but couldn’t find your reel. Is there a direct link or a tinyurl ???
Thanks,
Ron Lindeboom
