Oh yeah, we had that on my last contract. I'd totally forgotten it. Thanks!
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's also Photoshop Elements.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Front Page is horrible. (But that said, I don't have a lot of non-Dreamweaver experience in Windows, so I can't recommend anything else)
For graphics, Illustrator and Photoshop do completely different things. If what you need is a photoshop analogue, look at Photoshop Elements instead -- it's a simplified version that costs much less and does everything you'd commonly need to do for web work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Gimp is a very powerful and free (open source) graphics program, but it's difficult to learn to use (at least for me).
Also, I don't remember if you still need Xfree86 or somesuch to run it on a Mac.

Crap. I am so confused. (Yeah, what else is new?)
A web browser (IE 6) should never cache an .asp page, right? A web server (IIS) should never cache the result of a .dll component, right?
eta: Nebber mind. I am an idiot, but not for reasons related to the questions here.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What. The. Fuck.
I broke something on this very complex web application we wrote for a client. So I reverted half a dozen files to their original state. Except the application was still broken. I debugged and found the error in a script file which is included in the main file like so:
<SCRIPT src="SCRIPTS/combos.js"></SCRIPT>
It was erroring because the main page still had the new version of combos.js, even though I could look at that file directly and see that it was now the old version. So I killed IE, restarted the application - same thing. (Did this several times.) It was acting like it had cached combos.js. Finally I just renamed combos.js on the server, which produced an (expected) error on the web client. Then I renamed it back, and at this point the browser was loading the correct (old) combos.js.
WTF? Are javascript include files supposed to be cached? I've done this sort of thing before without a problem....
eta: A quick google shows that javascript include files are cached. Huh. Any idea how to prevent this, or how to force a reload of the include file if it's been changed?

Your tag here.
how to force a reload of the include file if it's been changed?
tommyrot, I've found IE to be pretty brain-dead when it comes to detecting changes to webpages. You might try going into Tools > Internet Options > Settings (under Temporary Internet files) and select "Every visit to the page" rather than the default "Automatically". In theory this will reduce your browsing performance, but I've never really noticed any change in practice.
