Steve, 

I agree that the Macromedia blurb is more than a bit OTT but: 

The market for CDROMs is one of the fastest growing sectors of the IT industry. 
Look at the executable on any CD Rom and the chances are that it was authored in 
Director. 

Learn to dive , get hundreds of new recipes and, for all a I know , learn to use Linux; 
all on CD Rom mostly produced with Director  . 

As someone involved in writing the things I can assure you that it isn't boring and it  
certainly is real work!
