    SteveJobs, loved the retrospective, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and that history.

    As an old Flash designer/developer/animator, I do think that performance was really on a lot of developer's minds. I think juggling resources and being mindful of speed was something you always had to struggle with, especially in the late 90's / early 00's, because a lot of consumer computers were about as powerful as the first iPhone during that time.

    Not disagreeing entirely with you, but performance was definitely a concern.

    • True, the likes of yourself and many others kept these things in mind, but for the few who did, there were many more who didn't unfortunately.SteveJobs
    • Friends of Ed book owners, flashkit members, etc. for sure sought efficiency. But I bet they weren't stamping out Lower my bills dancing banner ads either ;)SteveJobs
