Yeah and chances are we'll still be paying through the nose for our telecommunications, just over 100 bucks per month was getting me a single phone line and unlimited (throttled) internet. The throttling was so bad that it almost made online gaming unplayable. I would get better ping rates at a mates place even after he'd gone over his data cap and was on a throttled account himself. I've been recently advised that Telecom have removed their "all you can eat" data limit plan, so I've gone to a different company which is charging me $90 for a phone line and a 10 gig cap... We need more competition in our local telecommunication arena and we need it now!

"Handing Dreamweaver over to someone with no experience was always a joke." Yip I can agree with that, I got my start in webdesign by agreeing to take over the monthly updates of a small local zine, I was given an hour tutorial with the guy who built the site in dreamweaver before he got on a plane to Sydney. I had about 10 new pages to do up, that took me most of the next month to get them up to the site working on them a few hours a day, probably at least 60 hours in all. This was in 2000, I stopped using dreamweaver when I got heavily into using CSS for page design and layout and also started using *nix as my OS of choice. I did have to use dreamweaver for a contract I did around 18 months ago, and found it quite nice to use - it was the first time I had really used templates in dreamweaver. I'd agree with many other commentors when they say unless you want a generic looking site you will still need the services of a developer, I use Drupal Joomla and Wordpress fairly regularly for different jobs/projects and most of my time is spent making the sites looks different from every other cms site out there
