I love Flash, it was awesome. But what pains me the most is that only recently I found out about Shockwave. I mean the Director application. I always though Shockwave was a part of Flash. But turns out it was a separate thing all along!

Director was such a fun app for creating CD-ROM content back in the day! I still have fond memories of learning the Lingo scripting language inside Director to make interactive "multimedia" apps, then uploading them to the web and playing them in the browser using the Shockwave Player. It felt like magic at the time.
