        Hi, Holly!

        Trying to do cross-platform Web site development can get
tricky, as there
aren't very many robust solutions out there. NetObjects TeamFusion Server
(not to be confused with their "Cold Fusion" standalone product) is one;
but NetObjects is dropping MacOS support.

        Both Mac & Windows have good Web authoring tools; but cross-platform
team-based tools are scarce... And as you see with FrontPage, they can also
be buggy.

        My suggestion: Pick a single platform for content creation and run with
it. You can still use the other platform for "standalone" work, i.e. use an
NT-based group of machines for your primary authoring tool use and use the
Macs for scanning and image prep. Use the best tool for the job: You don't
want to use a chopper for a transatlantic flight just as you don't want to
land a DC-9 on a skyscraper rooftop! :)

        Cheers!
        Dan
