I agree. GED or CED are both fine, but I wanted MetalWeb. Personally,
I think they tried to add too much to it too fast! Somewhere a basic
formula wasn't followed (make it work, add a feature, make it work,
add a feature, make it work, make sure that it really works when you
thought it worked, ect)

It's really not that hard on Ged :) All you really need is a few
templates to follow and Poof! Theres even a couple of good Aminet
freebies to help.. Like "ImageMap" and "Gallery" (you guessed it for
making an imagemap and a gallery page!) But, I still want MetalWeb to
be functional, so I can concentrate on learning CGI and the such...

* Yup* I don't think the programmers are bad either, just that someone
got a little too concerned about OS3.5 beating them to the punch! I
still remember a discussion here called "NC� vs. OS3.5". Fact of the
matter is they shouldn't have been thought of in competition. I guess
I cannot blame Active either, as they only did what they felt was
best. :)

What?!? You mean that there is LOCAL help anywhere??? I would rather
have good remote help vice the Grocery Stock Boy (expert on Win98)
help!!!!
