I contracted for the Kirkland office for eight weeks in October/November 1994, working on the Mac version of their screensavers. —Ashley Y 00:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Annual revenue

What currency is the annual revenue in? US dollars or Canadian dollars? Pburka 02:49, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Canadian dollars. --Optichan 14:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of criticism

The lack of critical content in this article is striking. What's with the boosterism for Echo Park? Tempshill 18:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• "Boosterism"? It *was* an innovative product for the time, and the text is critical saying that it was a product arguably too far ahead of its time to be used in the way intended. And as I responded to a similar question when this was up as a Feature Article candidate, I replied that frankly, there was some criticisms that were floating around about how the firm was run, but nothing I could find *that was documented*. Rumour has no place in an article striving to be encyclopedic. In the end I think the most damning criticism about the firm is the fact that almost none of its products lived long after the company was bought by Symantec -- which I don't see so much as a criticism of Symantec, save for the fact that perhaps they paid too much. But there again, that is opinion, not fact... I would encourage you to find documented dirt, and add it where appropriate to the article. ;-) For me the exercise was more about documenting an innovative software firm about which has otherwise faded from memory.

No, really, it's fantastic. Maury 21:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JeffersonAirplane-30SecondsOverWinterland(album-cover).jpg

Image:JeffersonAirplane-30SecondsOverWinterland(album-cover).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
