The front page of the Ventura County section of the L.A. Times shows workers putting together the new computer lab of our new state university (Cal State Univ. Channel Islands). One picture shows workers wheeling in at least 10 new B&W G3 MTs. Another picture shows the actual lab itself with about 12 B&W G3s plus three more boxes and Dell monitors (unless Dell has an all in one). Looks like Macintoshes are still popular with universities. :-)

OT*** My apologies, I was unaware FrontPage for the Mac existed! But I have some excuses... I suspect it is a product abandoned by MSFT. Their website only lists version 1.0, so if it's been out for 5 years, it seems pretty much a dead product. The MSFT Mac product division has been talking about all the Mac products they are doing to prove MSFT is pro-Mac, and I never heard FrontPage mentioned. Also, I have never seen it advertised or coming up in comparative magazine reviews... Having used, and trashed, FrontPage for windows, I would recommend anyone to evaluate it before buying it. Maybe the Mac version is be much better than the windows counterpart after all, just like I.E. for Mac is quite neat, while I.E on windows is a piece of trash (the opposite is more or less true for Netscape, go figure!). e-

Frontpage 1.0 for the Macintosh is actually the original version of the software - it was Mac-only, and Microsoft bought the company. (They were already working on a Windows version). Frontpage 1.0 on the Macintosh is compatible with the most recent versions of Frontpage on Windows only due to the fact they both use HTML. Frontpage on Windows has been revised three (3?) times. There has never been a revision of the Mac product. Frontpage on Windows is the dominant web-authoring environment today, and largely the reason the Mac is no longer the dominant platform in Web authoring. MS went after the market and took it. Of course, this was during Apple's "lapse". Adobe GoLive 4.0 gets my vote right now for best web-authoring package for the Mac.
