Hey, I Like Being a Computer Teacher
02/27/2003

I just purchased Macromedia Studio so that I can finally begin a redesign to get my Web site beyond its late-90s look and access additional functionality as I design my school's Web site and begin teaching the older kids how to design them. The thing about being a computer teacher: I got the program for less than one-quarter its regular price!

The computer teacher catalog is dangerous when it arrives in my school mailbox each month (or so). It's been instructive, however, to watch the folks at Quark deal with the new reality of the market. Quark went several years between versions 4.0 and 5.0, and in that time, many alternatives have become available. When it first came out, the education edition of QuarkXPress offered only a $50 discount on the near-$1,000 product. Every month for the past few, the company has lopped another $100 off the price. Ah, the loss of a monopoly.

Is the technology behind your current page Cold Fusion based? Is that the direction you're moving in?

I'm a CF developer by trade... let me know if you have any questions.
