Dreamweaver

The question isn't if OS X is optimized for those programs, but are they optimized for OS X. I use a 300 G3 running 10.1.5 and Photoshop 7, InDesign 2, Dreamweaver & Fireworks MX, etc... It isn't fast, but it's usable. It works and hasn't let me down, which is more than I can say about the P3 I was running at work. BTW, I had a dispute with it and it became acquainted with...

The last site I made from scratch (about a week ago) I used mainly Create, images and...

Most of us see what you mean. You do NOT want a code editor, you want a WYSIWYG editor like Word. You should know Word is the worst, along with Frontpage, HTML editor ever. Good commercial WYSIWYG editors: Adobe GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver. Expensive, but the best stuff around. If you know Quark Xpress, you may like SoftPress Freeway.

aha! it's director! i don't really use it... i usually just use dreamweaver and photoshop, then i preview in safari. I sometimes need illustrator, but not too often. ...

By the way, Macromedia Studio MX is Fireworks Dreamweaver Flash and Freehand all bundled together. ...
