Just when I thought I could rant no more about Adobe

I have to start using Acrobat Connect Pro...dear lord.

First, from what I can tell, the built-in recording feature looks like steaming pixellated shit. No really, here's an ADOBE video for using it. It's barely legible, with shitacular screen boogers everywhere.

Oh wait, they don't all look like feces, this one's been done by someone who spent some time on it. Of course, the obvious "we recorded random audio bits" distracts. "Choosethe....Select" et al.

Seriously? You're telling a grownup how to use a pencil tool? Do you tell us when nap-time is? Oh, wait, never mind, you're now telling me how to type.

I'm not even sure what Adobe's doing here other than coming up with yet another reason to try to force everyone to use Flash for everything.
