        Don't you find somewhat disconcerting, though, that Websites are 
"revised" so often?  I mean, staying on the bleeding edge is important, but a 
Website doesn't need to look different every two months.

        HTML is a great language, I think.  It's very simple to learn, but 
once you've got the basics there are many tricks you can pull to wow the 
masses.
 PM>  Never seen a fancy editor yet that didn't goof up something to the

        I tried using a Windows editor (InContext's Spider) when I was doing 
a co-op a while ago.  Ugh!  I tried it for about 30 minutes to hour, but I 
just gave up, because coding by hand (through SunOS's text editor) was so 
much more familiar and direct.
        Right now, I'm on a Win 95 machine, and I use Notepad.  Hey, it's 
cheap, and it works.
