Exclamation Help Plz?

Okay. Well, I have started website designing at school today and am in need of Microsoft Frontpage 2003. Well I searched high and low on ebay, but the cheapest item i saw was $122! Well, as I am on a shoestring spending budget, I was wondering if any new of anyone or had a full edition of Frontpage 2003 or anything with it. Also, I am willing to pay! : Anything under $30 is negotiable.

Cheers, Ben

Windows already has a full featured web design tool built into it.

Press Start, then Run, then type notepad.exe

does it need to be front page 2003?. I'm guessing for course requirements eh.
You can try a 60 day free trial of Microsoft® Expression® Web. download directly from microsoft here : http://www.microsoft.com/products/in...52415#Overview
.
P.S. I have not tried this, : however word is that office XP pro which contains all the office suite, including front page 2003, is available from P2P networks like shareaza, emule, etc, in a zip file with CD key. Be very sure to virus scan any files downloaded from P2P using the latest updated virus scanners.

Don't use Frontpage, use Dreamweaver. Frontpage is an outdated piece of crap and even when it wasn't it was still useless.

If the school is teaching web page design using Frontpage, then he has no choice in the matter really.

Unfortunately that is the case as far as I know. I have a nephew in the same position. The real sad part is not only that they teach using old very obsolete software, but at the same time they (the teachers that is) have no clue. I also suspect the course designers have even less of a clue.
Of course I say that in respect to the ones I have seen from nephews school, there may be some out there that are quite good, however even those would be crippled by having to teach using only front page.

Teachers should be teaching HTML, not how to use editors. They never used editors at my school.
