Flash, Flash, once beloved Flash - I remember when you were FutureSplash, you were such a blast. Alas, alas, now I just wanna kick your ash.

@mollydotcom Would you believe Flash is why I came to web dev in the 1st place? I had been blown away by the #webmonkey flash intro in ’97.

@dboudreau I believe it! I still don't hate it, I just can't imagine (see @wolfl I'm not too unkind!) why it's used so poorly in 2013.

@mollydotcom @dboudreau Just today I was recalling how a whole room of web designers' jaws dropped when Macromedia guy demo'd FutureSplash.

@wolfl @dboudreau Trump you Wolfie ;) - I remember FutureSplash when it belonged to a teeny company called FutureWave :D

@mollydotcom That specific flash intro was my first experience with web transitioning animations. It was fantastic. /cc @wolfl

@mollydotcom @dboudreau Oh, I had already discovered and learned FS when MM bought it. Loved FutureWave's drawing tool too (long deceased).
