So one more year and my copy of Frontpage98 that I've been using to hax0r these news updates will hit a decade of use. It's pretty much the only piece of software that I havent felt a need to update over the years. I suppose since we only use like 2 html tags in most news posts could be why. *shrug* Please do try these:

- Now Viacom gets sued for YouTube fun
- CD sales way down
- Watch porn with your kids!
- Robot cars will run your ass down
- Here comes the NBC/Fox video site

Lastly, perhaps we could get lucky and no cell phones on planes will remain.

Hah Frontpage 98. I bet shack is really run by an access server and a bunch of VB script to glue it all together.

  FrontPage 97 and 98 were particularly bad at mangling HTML. FrontPage 2000 was a shitton better and maybe FrontPage 2003 was the best but by that point I had moved on to Visual Studio.
  
  Maybe Steve should try Visual Web Developer Express or whatever MS calls it now

    I created my first website in frontpage98. I looked at the code it generated, said "This looks like shit", and learned a little HTML to clean it up.
