I can't resist either. I must bring closure to part of this thread, just in case somebody has a time machine accident or stumbles into a worm-hole and finds themself back in 1986. :-) There were several ways to eject a disk on a Mac. 1) Select the disk icon and choose Put Away. 2) Select the disk

I'd second David's opinion and experience. And as a beneficiary of one of Jeremy's free licenses during the last tech crunch, it gave me a new tool and skill set and resulted in a steady string of license purchases from companies that I've worked for since then. Good product, great support, and e

Patrick, My opinion, and experience, with Mif2Go is just the opposite. I have been using Mif2Go for several years and have learned how to use the User's Guide. Yes, it takes a while to find things, sometimes, but this is because Mif2Go can do a lot. If you install Mif2Go and just take the default

Just charge "them" the time you spend (waste) on doing the job without the right tools. I'm sure you will come up with a figure which is a multiple of the price of MIF2Go (or even WebWorks ePublisher). Both MIF2Go and WebWorks ePublisher are GREAT value for money. There is no such thing as a free

I second John's views, and to some extent Zoe's. Mif2GO is a great tool, and it's priced right. If you want to pay a lot more, you could consider ePublisher. People seem to like it, and XML-based publishing is definitely the way of the future. WWP 7 Standard Edition is obsolete. Don't waste you

We abandoned WebWorks in favor of Mif2Go a couple of years ago. Mif2Go can do more things and is much cheaper. It doesn't look as slick and was harder to learn to the 80% mark, but WebWorks always had some bizarre things that I never did get used to. Mif2Go has awesome support, which WebWorks ne

WW hasn't shipped with Frame for two releases; the publishers have changed the name and product significantly with ePublisher. And as far as Standard WW goes, it doesn't support modified templates, so it's of limited usefulness. And I don't think it was ever in common use -- it was a freebie from a
