Thanks to Greg Rewis and Tom Person for coming to the Las Vegas Macromedia Users Group tonight and doing a Q&A for us while they were in town for NAB. We had a really great turn-out and the room was packed (and hot — a reminder we need AC next time). They told us up front “no questions on the Adobe buyout of Macromedia” since they aren’t allowed to say anything about it. Instead Greg and Tom took questions for the many users on ColdFusion, Flex, and just about anything we could think of.

We also got a really cool look at Maelstrom aka FlashPlayer8. I had seen the demos on various blogs around the net, but seeing it in person was very cool and answered some of the remaining questions I had about some of the features. I am looking forward to it and the new features of the Flash video codec.

I am counting the days until 8Ball is released (or until they finally decide to get me on the beta — hint hint hint!!!) ;)
