polymerase Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 11640	Adobe gets spanked by Apple to the tune of 3 billion dollars wasted on Flash acquisition. Ballmer who has had a ten year continuous spanking from Apple throws moderately good money (high priced money since MSFT has taken such a severe beating in his ten year tenure) and buys Adobe. What a hoot. Are they going to compare red butts? The fingerprints? They're Steve Job's handprints and the boot prints match his cute expensive running shoes.

If such a "merger" did happen, I'd just have to continue my support of Thorsten Lemke and his GraphicConverter app. _________________________
