This used to be my favorite site on the whole internet, and I also bought it on CD.  To this day I keep one older Mac just for using Perseus.  On line, evidently because money from sources such as CPB ran out, some compromises have been made, of many kinds: not only additional and unrelated material given prominence but a new search engine system, through which I defy anyone to get to the wonderful coins (all Dewing, many BMFA, and other collections), or to navigate to find anything specific once there.  Not only the coins but the sites and the interactive Classical maps and the vase-painting and the sculpture are practically inaccessible.  That is why I keep the CDs that work in the older computer: just for the Real Perseus!
