The Zax Go To MAX

http://max.adobe.com == A story about a Designer Zax and a Developer Zax, inspired by Dr. Seuss.

One day, making tracks
In the prairie of Prax,
Came Developer Zax
And Designer Zax.
And it happened that both of them came to a place
Where they bumped. There they stood.
Foot to foot. Face to face.

"Look here, now!" Developer Zax said, "I say!
You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.
I'm a Developer Zax and I always just code.
Get out of my way, now, before I explode!"

"Who's in whose way?" snapped Designer Zax.
"I always design, for visual impact.
So you're in MY way! And I ask you to move
And let me design in my artistic groove."

Then Developer Zax puffed his chest up with pride.
"I never," he said, "take a step to one side.
And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways
If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!"

"And I'll prove to YOU," yelled Designer Zax,
"That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax
For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule
That I learned as a boy back in Art Design School.

Never budge! That's my rule. Never budge in the least!
Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!
I'll stay here, not budging! I can and I will
If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!"

Well...
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, a new highway came through
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax
And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.

Until one day, the Zax heard of MAX
A fantastical place that changes the facts
Where code becomes art and art becomes apps
And suddenly these two became amiable chaps.

"Let us go to this MAX," said Developer Zax,
"And see if this place can help us relax."
So together they went, to develop and design
And to this very day, they are doing just fine.

I watched and I listened; I grinned and I thought

this is the best of the videos they got.
