Dreamweaver, it seems, requires more resources than my current system has. They suggest a Pentium II processor, which I don't have; they recommend Windows 2000, and I'm running Win95; I'm at the minimum amount of RAM they recommend. IOW, in order to even use the program i may have to upgrade the

The easiest way to find a light leak is to place a small light inside the mirror box and go into a darkened closet and look for light leaking out. This is can be accomplished by soldering small wires to a flashlight bulb, epoxying the bulb to the inside of a body cap, passing the wires to the outs

Hi Mick ... For what I'm doing now I see no reason to get into something like Dreamweaver. For a few lists and tables, and for posting photographs, what more is needed? What do you mean by "design centric" anyway? Plus, I enjoy hand coding, and learning a little in that way. No, I don't see s

Hi Shel, perhaps you ought to invest in a copy of something like Macromedia Dreamweaver. Firstly it makes web page design so much easier and a lot more design rather than HTML centric, but also it will tell you what works and what doesn't in your pages with various browsers. I'm a software enginee

Well, guns are much over rated. They don't wag their tail when you come home. They don't lick your face. And it is harder for someone to use against you. So, don't be too sad. The point I was trying to make was that you can carry anything on a bare packframe. It is a very much underrated device.
