A "eulogy" is similar in modern culture in that it's an oration usually reserved for talking about the dead, though strictly speaking a eulogy is just a speech honoring someone (it comes from Greek words meaning "good speech"). Since I'm being picky, I'll have to concede that my blog post about ImageReady was more of a eulogy than an elegíe, but I like the word elegíe. BTW, if you thought Dreamweaver 8 was total garbage (and I did, at least on the Mac), you're going to have the same opinion of Dreamweaver CS3. Because they're pretty much exactly the same. “Elegíe” is a French spelling of “elegy”, which in turn is derived from the Greek word “elegos,” meaning a reflection on the death of someone/something or on sorrow in general.
