Bonus points to whoever can decipher this chart:
No? Well, it has something to do with a bunch of baseball players whose initials don’t match their names. There’s also some “periods” (which are called “Yr”). We don’t need no stinkin’ Y-axis, because it’s clear that periods are plotted against… uh, “money?” It also looks like someone […]

CJ has repeatedly asked for a statement from Adobe or their product evangelists, but so far, […]
Recently the HATT list had its annual debate on the “Click the OK” or “Click OK” issue. (Yes, user assistance developers actually argue over this stuff. And it’s “Click OK“, if you’re wondering.)
