They've lost all my loyalty. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck on this 
operating system called Windows XP b/c of the mere fact that Macromedia 
has made of their fabulous software for the Linux platform.

The day that happens, is the day that I format these machines and move 
over to Linux Mandrake. Oh, I cannot wait for the day when I can compute 
safely and not have to worry about viruses, spyware, and all that jazz.

I did. In fact, I choose to do business with companies who's sites look 
good. Call me what you want, but why should I do business with a company 
who can't look after their website? Imagine if their website was poorly 
made. That, in itself, is a reflection of their business, their 
attitudes, and often, is a direct reflection of how they treat their 
customers.

Would you choose the web designer with a poorly done site, or the one 
with a usability-friendly, accessible, semantically correct, standards 
compliant site? I'd fathom a guess and say you would choose the latter. 
99% of the populace would agree with me.

It's all about perception, folks, and until we realize that, we're dead 
in the water.
