This started on-topic under "For Mac Users Only" as
Today's (Wednesday, October 1) MacInTouch http://www.macintouch.com/
has an useful report on astronomy software for the Mac.


In spite of the subject, 'Doze user Chris L Peterson jumped in with:
I've got a good friend at Adobe. Since V5 they stopped developing PS on Macs,
but do all the development in Windows and then port it.


I reposted this assertion on comp.graphics.apps.photoshop, and Chris
Cox replied:
Your "friend" is pulling your leg.
We do development on both platforms simultaneously (literally - I use 4
machines at once: 2 Mac and 2 Windows ;-).


Don't know who Chris Cox is? Read your Photoshop splash screen. And he
signed his name to his information. I'm glad he posted this, because I
knew that Mr. Peterson's assertion that Photoshop (which was ported
from the Mac to 'Doze) is being ported from 'Doze to the Mac was false,
but I couldn't prove it. But Chris Cox has proved it.

I hope so. But I trust my source.

Your source has no credibility until you publish her name with her
assertion.

Actually his source has plenty of creditability for the simple reason that
Chris Peterson himself has proved himself to be very creditable over the years.

The internet being the internet, aliases, motives, etc, that is about the best
one can do.

Hi:

What do you mean by "doze"? Windows? If so, why not say so?

9). I've never taken steroids

Gee, do you think Arnold has ever taken steriods?? g

I am a bit surprised that the media has not brought this topic up, after all,
body building is the only sport I know of that has a "natural" class for those
who are unwilling to abuse steriods. Of course the "natural" guys and gals are
strictly amateur.

Naah, for pure political intrigue California is the place to be. A
serial groper for one candidate, a porn actress, a porn purveyor, a
midget, and then there's me. Although, I'm sad to report that I did not
make the ballot. Evidently you actually have to live in the state to
qualify! Whaa!?

Anyway, the good citizens of California can still use the write-in
option for me, and some points in my favor:

1). I've only groped when given the groping green light
2). I've never appeared in a porno movie (that you've seen)
3). My personal budget has been in the green for well over 40 years
4). My dark skies initiative is unique among all candidates
5). I'm over 4' 6"
6). I've taken no special interest monies
7). Huge fan of the Sacramento Kings
8). I don't own half a dozen Hummers
9). I've never taken steroids
10). 5th generation American


Jimmy Carter-esque smile

You wouldn't have the half-lives of a thigh and a drumstick
at suppertime here in the South...

You must have missed part of this thread. Mr. Peterson published an
assertion and cited the source as an anonymous Adobe employee. I knew
that the assertion was false, but I had no proof. My proof came from a
long-time Photoshop engineer, Chris Cox, who was willing to sign the
information that he provided. Look at the PS credits and you will see
Chris Cox's name there.

The internet being the internet, aliases, motives, etc, that is about the best
one can do.


I can do a lot better than to repeat a false assertion from an unnamed
source -- and I did do a lot better.

I didn't write "doze," I wrote "'Doze" to indicate that it is a proper
noun and a contraction (of "Windoze").

Bad habit of mine. Someone caught me recently calling my telescope a
'scope.

The question, then, is, why do I write "Windoze" and not "Windows."
This is, as you suspect (or already know), a derisive term for a
product that I and millions of other Windows users think is most worthy
of derision.
