Jasninder, I think the question was asking how many programs you usually have open at one time. (Unless you really do run all of those programs at the same time, but I doubt you do) ---

well it can be like programs you use like during the whole day. Like During any normal day I wouldn’t use dreamweaver but I will always either have photoshop open and then later flash. It doesn’t have to be in the same time but you use it alot. ---

You could use both browsers to test CSS… but that’s what IE View is for 😉 @bigmtnskier: Eclipse AND VS open at the same time? Sorry, but I don’t believe that, unless you have ten gigs of ram or something… [size=1]also, [Gimpshop](http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294) might interest you, if you don’t like the Gimp’s windows :)[/size] ---

Frontpage is a good program, I used it when I went to my brothers house in New York. He had FrontPage and he had photoshop, once I used it I got into it so I saved up money to buy it. Now you know what got me into graphic design. ---

> [@Plastic Forq](#): > > Frontpage is a good program, I used it when I went to my brothers house in New York. I completely disagree, but then again my half-baked skepticism is definitely faulty if this popular site was made with FrontPage - I don’t know what to believe anymore :jail: Anyways, at the moment I’ve got: 2 IE Windows - because its the best browser :run: Windows Media Player - have any of you heard Losing My Touch by the Stones?
