Sorry I seem to have trouble separating Apple from a
Adobe.
Both are red and start with a A.
Both make vitally important software for me. (I've been Filemaker compulsive
for decades, used to get the newsletter as in in the mail before the
internet)

I should have learned my lesson last week after I walked many blocks in ice
cold to get to the Apple store on 5th avenue. Told the person (notice how
i'm gender non specific!) I'd like a copy of Lightware if they had any left.
She said she never heard of it.
I'd thought it was made by apple and that the place to surely get it would
be the Apple store. But stocking Adobe products are not the very top
priority on their list when it comes to one that would compete against their
Aperture. I bet they call it "Lightleak".
And one which hadn't come out yet.
So I had several strikes against me on that trip.

I think its Appleture vs Lightleak
