Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac

Feneric writes "As noted on FrameUsers.com, FrameMaker for the Mac was officially killed by Adobe. Of course, since one of the primary selling points of FrameMaker is its wonderfully solid cross-platform MS-Windows / Macintosh / Unix support, many are now wondering how long it'll now last for any platform."

Mac users are very parochial, period. An entire class of individuals so thoroughly convinced of their own absolute rightness that all other points of view are presumed invalid. The Church of Rome may have managed to make Galileo recant his public statements about the heliocentricity of the solar system, but I bet not even a Medieval Church could turn a Mac user against his religion.
