Ugh.  You aren't the only one.  I don't know why, but my eyes roll
back into my head and I feel like I'll go insane every time I see the
words "FrontPage Web". <excuse me a second, I can't see the screen>
Why does MS constantly need to invent its own terminology for things
that have had their own names/definitions since the beginning of time,
and often have the new terminology be so far off that you wonder which
nutcase it was that they pulled out of the local maximum-security
sanitarium to think it up for them?  "FrontPage Web"?  Or how about
the well-known acronym DNS (which is now called Digital Nervous System
among all the clueless MS dweebies) or DNA (Distributed interNet
Applications)?  Give me a #$*@ing break!

Ok... My brief encounter with insanity while thinking of the stupid
things MS constantly does is now over.
