Textile 2 does that
Brad Choate: MT-Textile does that???. We use Textile 2.0 on this site. Still learning some of the amazing features. The float left and float right are great, but I still can’t get tables to work as well as with the first Textile. Textile(tm) drew a dark line by default, but this Textile 2 doesn’t seem…

Well, it is Christmas time, so this might be a good guide for those of you who want to give the gift of computing. As usual, we’ll cover a “high value” system and a “low cost” system. The best value means the best price/performance for a computer but it is more expensive. The “low cost”…

Software I would Pay For
The list isn’t very long, but since I’m at it (and it is the holiday season), here’s a list of software that I would (and have) paid for over the last year.
