Dependence on Programming Experts

[Judy Perry]

Richmond,

Given the early policy of Macromedia requiring a "Made with Macromedia" or
some such thing splash screen, I suspect it's not all that difficult...
(to estimate the number of deployed products made with Director).

As you may know, I tend to agree that some of the people exposed to it
(such as folks in IDT degree programs) absolutely did not love it and,
from my conversations with a few there and there from various places,
didn't ever voluntarily use it again, certainly even I would have to agree
that its usage was widespread.
