FEX made an unannounced guest appearance at the recent Creative Suite Conference, on Mordy Golding's 'Tips' presentation. You can view it on his first TouTube performance here:

Thanks for the compliments and the posts guys

Just as an FYI, I use FEX and love it. And you don't have to wonder if the folks at that conference knew about it (it was the Creative Suite Conference in Chicago this past October by the way) -- they were all aware of FEX.

The clip on YouTube was taken from a "Tips" session that was given at the end of the show. But there was also another session at the conference called "Must have add ons" which was a session dedicated to plugins, tools, and apps that every designer must have in addition to the Adobe products. Ted LoCascio spoke about font utilities and mainly discussed Suitcase Fusion among a few others. I was on stage immediately after Ted and before I spoke about the plugins and apps that I like to use, I pointed out that Ted had "left out" the FREE and most excellent FEX.

So you see? They knew...

Hi Mordy, welcome to the forums.

Sparky · January 13, 2008, 11:10:10 AM

Glad to have you on board Mordy. I look forward to exchanging thoughts and learning more on these subjects.

Also, Joe, Nice to know we can (how do I say this without sounding rude

) appear classy enough to attract the cream of our industry to come on board.

Oh, I'm no cream -- I'm just like everyone else... I've been in the trenches and at times, wish I was back in there fighting the everyday battles and fires.

But if there's a way I can be of help, I'm always up for the challenge.

Personally, I agree that sometimes us trench monkeys that roam these halls can seem crude, but I feel like the community is top notch, and classy to say the least..

Im also glad to see you join us, Mordy!! Welcome.
