I dont agree that it’s better.. A guy who makes a logo in MS paint, is not a professional, nor is he trying to be a professional.. He’s just a cheap ass “client” ;)

A guy who makes a logo in Photoshop on the other hand.. He’s trying, and probably thinks he’s oh so cool because he made a logo in photoshop.. But the jokes are on him! :)

Copy paste from mail on/ of talks for a week or so (I keep all the good mails ,this regarding flash ).

Hey Tsafi
I love the file, but i do have a problem you know …. i can’t add more effect to this, i try to make this to work with my php code and build a particle engine on click this will explode base on your particles effect (I said to myself man this guy is good ? ) but i can’t find your .ffx (now I know he is on drugs .ffx is for AE).

My answer : you know that .ffx is for AE and not flash ?

He says – what do you mean flash ? it’s not AE ?

My answer: no you purchase my file from ActiveDan it’s all flash

He says – I don’t think so i got this from this from videohive and not from activedan

My answer: no you don’t, you got this from ActiveDan it’s all flash i don’t have files on videohive market

He says:wow how did i do that? i never ever visit activedan,now when i think of this i was wonder what’s that red icon file ?(he mean the fla) and can you still help me ?

My answer: help you with what ? Again this is a flash file

He says: this is not AE file ? it look like AE… and I bought it from videohive not from activedan My answer: no you don’t, you bought this file from ActiveDan it’s all flash i don’t have files on videohive

He says: ho yes i see now, you are correct it’s from activedan but where is the AE format and all the code, all i see as a red icon .fla

My answer: again this is not aftereffect project it’s all flash base on pure coding i can help you with that if you want.

He says: can you convert it to AE with all the function …. It will take you anyway only 5 minutes (now I start to losing it )

My answer: no i can’t its flash not AE, it’s nothing to do with me .

He says: what do you mean you can’t or you won’t?

My answer: i can and i wont, again this is nothing to do with me .

He says: please help me I’ll give you 5 stars? (Now I start losing my patience)

My answer: please don’t ridicule my intelligent, and I really don’t know what you want from me

He says: ill contact support ?

My answer: please do

He says: i contact support they say you need to refund me

My answer: maybe on another life ill do so (I stop here it wasn’t fun anymore )

I can write a book I think ….

This isn’t exactly about clients in the same way, but back in the mid-90’s, I was running computer courses for the over-60’s with the average age being about 70-75.

I remember one old woman who had a look of absolute shock when I opened the CD drive, put in the CD and then closed it. She had been using it as a cup holder, and had thought that that was what it was there for.

Another one took ages to teach to use the mouse because she kept lifting it up and using it as a remote control.
