I haven't attended any Macromedia seminars, but, obviously, all these free online events are sponsored by someone, and so there's always a slant towards or mention made of the product or company. Still, I have attended some valuable sessions this way, so I'm planning on checking these out, especially the one on Simulations, which is a particular interest of mine.

(As a side note, I got the announcement via an email. When I clicked on the link, I noticed that the URL in the address bar ended with "&trackingid...." I don't like seeing that; it means that they know the source of the link. When I backspaced over that part of the URL, I got the exact same page. I don't know what the tracking id tracks -- the general source of the link -- email vs from a web page? -- or if it actually identifies the email recipient. Maybe I'm being paranoid or just plain contrarian, but I edited the URL above so that the tracking info is not included.)
