Interesting article, Michelle, and many thanks for posting it! As an aside, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I ditched both Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, choosing to use the iWork suite instead. Admittedly iWork lacks some of the capabilities of Creative Suite and Office, but with a few minor needs to do a work around, I have found iWork does what I need with, what at least to me, is a far more pleasant interface. I'm awaiting iWork '10 and hope that the few missing features that are useful to me will be addressed. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Does this really belong in comp.sys.mac.system?? I would think this would be better posted to comp.sys.mac.misc. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

I have point-blank refused to update to CS3 or CS4, in large part due to the outrageous pricing structure. I would only go to CS5 if a future Apple OS update renders CS2 unusable... and even then I'd think hard before I did it. If Apple (or anyone else, even Microsoft, and yes I'm absolutely serious about that...) were to unleash software which could replace Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Dreamweaver, but at a reasonable price, I'd buy it immediately. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.

As for a replacement for Dreamweaver I suggest taking a look at Freeway from Softpress, <www.softpress.com> , which is available in both an Express and a Pro version, and which has a free trial period. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com
