Wake up and read the idiot, CoffeecupTruth.. Hello, I'm a knob and all of your other cowardice alter egos,

Have you ever heard, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt?"

We hear you loud and clear, my friend. Everything's 10x10 here.

I have no doubt...I was a fool to purchase the product...

As if I didn't know ... you could tell...

Thanks for reminding me...

Right! Go to a site with 125 programming errors? I don't think that was such a good suggestion.

Check their errors:

I was showing a friend how to make a website using Coffee Cup Editor as the text editor on my PC. She was very excited. Unfortunately she uses a Mac. We googled a Mac text editor and she downloaded it but hates it. She wants Coffee Cup.I think she is going to give up on making her own web site unless she can have coffee cup.

Yes, I am a MAC user (used to be all PC until Microsoft decided to continue to put out a very inferior OS). I do not use my PC at all, but will need to pull it out in order to use CC software. I am a past customer of CC and I had no problems with it. I do own other MAC software that will do what I want (create web forms), but will take me a while to figure out how to do it. I need a quick and simple way to get my business forms going and later figure out how to do it with Adobe products, etc. CC software is the way to go..BUT I would like to see all of CC software available for MAC. I pleaded with CC a few years ago about this and I see that it has not happened yet. Many people are switching to MAC (for obvious reasons) and I feel that if CC does not make a software option for MAC they will be losing much business. Many of the problems the CC users are finding is NOT with CC software, but the lousy Microsoft OS coding. I used to be a highly certified Microsoft OS professional until I got sick of their poor coding. MAC is the future and I believe that Apple will dominate the market in a few short years. Unix based OS and Apps have always been rock solid and always will, so CC GET ON THE BAND WAGON and get MAC applications!!

By the way, those of you who are bashing CC software and think that Adobe (Macromedia) software is flawless, you better believe that those apps (Adobe) have their problems as well. Most of the problems are not due to the Apps, but due to the Apps having to be able to work with lousy OS software coding. I have had many problems with Adobe software as well...except when running on a MAC. So, think about the backbone of your system (the OS) first before you bash the App developers.

After being a PC user from the start (many, many, many years), I am finally fed up with Windows and annoying viruses and therefore have decided to switch over to MAC. I said I'd never buy a MAC and oh how I am eating those words now! Now I've got to retrain my brain to a MAC world.

After thinking about all of the programs I have that I will now have to get in MAC (too many...but gaining the awesome Aperture!), I remembered that I had all these CC programs and didn't remember seeing them available for MAC. So I popped on over to see and sure enough, CC is basically for Windows users. Personally, since I can't afford any of those other more expensive programs out there, I like the ease of the html editor. Hopefully one of these days the folks here at CC will provide the world of MAC users the software native to MAC without having to run other crap to run their Intel/Windows based software.

TigerLadyT,

There are ways to run MS Windows on a MAC, especially if your processor is Intel.

Some of the CoffeeCup programs are not written in a language that allows them to be ported to a MAC, but it is my understanding that as the programs are reworked in major revisions (not quick bug fixes), that the programming language will be something that makes a MAC program a possibility.

I have also been told that CC uses MACs, so I would expect them to want native MAC programs.

I'd like to see CC implement some of their apps for the MAC os's, mainly because my clients would like to have some control of their sites and the visual edit feature in the 2008 HTML editor is better than any on-line, open source or local application for end-users who wish to do 'lite' maintenance. And, a few of them are on MACs. And MAC users are very loyal to their product. I'd like to be able to stear them to your software. So guys -- how about it?

In response to 'wake up and smell the coffee'. Possibly you need a reality check. It takes more than one suite of software to design sites. I've used all of the big name brands, and still use some of them (macromedia, Adobe -- but never MS frontpage), and CC consistently stands up to any Adobe or Mircosoft product. Coffee Cup provides great support and the upgrades are free (and there are real enhancements not just a change to the skin) -- Adobe charges for anything and everything, including support via Bangladesh. Coffee Cup has a rare WYSIWYG company climate. I'm proud to have them in our tool kit. And look forward to updating my bundled software - for free. Their software keeps getting better -- especially the catchy song after the install ...

I got very excited as soon as I found out about CC, but my excitement was very short lived when I discovered it was not available for MAC OS X.

My excitement lasted about 2 hours. I guess writing software for MAC is a force left for "Geniuses" and not for the "Geek Squad".

Later!
