- salmo 4y agoThat reminds me of my days doing shudder ColdFusion and seeing Microsoft Liquid Motion, their short-lived Macromedia Flash competitor. Well and DHTML immediately reminds me of Dreamweaver and trying to make everything compatible with IE and Netscape with a lot of browser detection. I miss the people I worked with back then.
