First Look: Macromedia Dreamweaver MX
Web page layout, authoring and site management suite

Absolution through MX
by David Nagel

For a Mac journalist like me, one little slip can mean the difference between canonization among the great saints and martyrs of Macdom and expulsion from Machalla. And so it is not with a little trepidation that I offer you the following confession, one that, though slight, reveals the dark patch on my AltiVec core that I've been trying to hide lo these many years.
