This is so funny because I was just blogging about the soup to nuts history of a multimedia services company I started in 1994 and I distinctly remember getting CyberStudio for us to use! In fact, I think I still have the original package in my archives – right next to MediaMaker 1.0 ;-D

I have no doubt that Dreamweaver will ultimately bring all the innovations that we saw in GoLive – especially if you have anything to do with it.

@Greg. Yes, I realize they tried to make a comeback, but come on, CyberStudio did it way cooler. Being able to throw them any direction you wanted was great. Irony aside, I understand the mixed emotions. Small world. I always wondered what happened to you. I thought you were a great presenter back then, very dynamic. One of the reasons I became an instructor. You and Tom Pitrello (or however you pronounce his name)and of course, Terry White.

@Dee – well, the mini panels are making a comeback (see the CS3 products). Not exactly the same, but fun to see nonetheless. As I said, a day of mixed emotions for sure.

Wow – I remember using CyberStudio way back when. Glass raised, irony and all. Cheers!

I vividly remember you presenting at MacWorld. How weird seeing that old picture just made me realize that. I LOVED CyberStudio and always felt it had great promise.My favorite feature was the way you could throw the panels any which way you wanted and it’d stick as a tiny tab. Hated the way Adobe Adobe-ized the panels. They should have adopted the way it worked. :( As much as I love my Dreamweaver, and I do, I always thought it was ashame what happened to GoLive. I was never able to teach it because I felt Dreamweaver became more intuitive. Like InDesign over Quark.

I got my free copy as press at a MacWorld. BTW. I don’t think I threw another product in the trash to get mine. And for whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for Adobe to acquire CyberStudio or not. To me it was a sad day for that particular product.
