Re: Dreamweaver MX for PC
Does anyone have an old copy of Dreamweaver MX , and Photoshop CS for Windows at all that I can buy? I need it to teach with them so that I can see the differences in a Mac AND PC environment.

After the first day's use where everything was spinning beach balls. length waits and forced quits, I am happy to report that this software is now behaving beautifully. Everything seems snappy and responsive. The new interface takes a bit of getting used to, and I guess that's going to change again in the light of Adobe's court case win against Macromedia, but I'm really looking forward to the final release now. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

This is purely personal preference, but I have never liked the Macromedia interfaces. They just don't seem like they are well thought out. Or maybe I am just bitter that Macromedia cancelled xRez and SoundEdit. I have grown up with Adobe software and it just seems like it is the right way to do things. Maybe I will have another look at the MX series. I certainly like the idea of being able to generate 100% Pure CSS code. (Yes, I know I should be writing my code in BBEdit or VI or EMACs. But you want to know something? I prefer to spend my time designing, rather then typing!) :-) Regards Matthew Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Matthew Healey WAMUG President http://www.wamug.asn.au

Matthew (O illustrious wamug webpage designer :-), can you give a first-hand report of the speed of GL6 in OS X? Cheers, Tobes. Fortunately, Adobe software is much faster than their delivery service! I cannot comment first-hand, but from the demo I saw running on a PowerBook 400, it is quite zippy. I should _hopefully_ have my copy this week.

I agree though - DreamWeaver MX has some real speed issues under OS X. Let's hope they can sort them out for the final release. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
