Karelia: "Lightning has indeed struck twice"

This has got to befrustrating. In an attempt to avoid a repeat of the Watson/Sherlock debacle, the folks atKarelia Software made an earlier-than-originally-pla ed public beta release of Sandvox available.Sandvox is a super-simple, WYSIWYG web editor that makes web site co truction easy and fun. Sound a little like iWeb?I realize that no one has the exclusive rights to web editors, but the timing here is really unfortunate. From the Sandvox blog:

"...someof the biggest limitatio of iWeb (.mac only, not pluggable, no ability for HTML content) can become strengths forSandvox. As we move forward past version 1.0, we will be able to further distinguish Sandvox from iWeb by focusing onfeatures that our users demand that will never be a part of the iLife suite." Competition of this sortusually drives the production of better products. I, for one, am looking forward to what Karelia has in store.
