Lucky you. I'd never used it until preparing for a class I'm teaching
this semester. The book has an on-line component using ... You guessed
it. I don't like it and some of my students have had difficulty with
it because even the firewall in SP2 doesn't like it. This is a novice
level course; some of my students had never used a computer. And first
thing we do is to teach them to open their computer to the world and
have to field all of the calls of "I can't get it to work."
About half of my students are now using some simple PHP pages I put
together for them.
