Interesting!

"Thanks to Adobe® FrameMaker® as a new TECHWR-L Annual Sponsor!"

I'm not sure who exactly "Adobe FrameMaker" is? I thought Adobe Systems 
was the company and FrameMaker the product. Could "Adobe FrameMaker" be 
a new organization with plans to take FrameMaker onto more platforms? 
Let's hope so.

I'm glad to see "Adobe FrameMaker" only took Silver sponsorship. I'd 
hate to think that any more cash was being spent on advertising, 
especially when net profits were only $144.9 million for the previous 
quarter, up 39% on the year. Gosh! Discontinuing Mac FrameMaker because 
Mac users didn't buy a product that Adobe never made (i.e., FrameMaker 
for Mac OS X) really has paid dividends.
