background, and it is decidedly unpleasant.

A newer browser might be nice, but it also would be good if web page
designers built pages with older code in mind.

It _definitely_ has some cool stuff. Thanks, Scott!

I have several other browsers, but I prefer using Netscape 4.79. Some
websites are a royal pain. I recently ran into an electronics
distributor who put their entire website in "Flash". There is no way I
will wait five minutes or more per page to download and run stupid
animation when I am looking for parts. I have seen a bunch of sites with
a white background and a very pale yellow text.


My website isn't perfect, but I but a lot of work into making it easy
to use and I asked for, and used, feedback from members of a couple
newsgroups. You can see it at:

do to the site, but a website is never really finished, is it?
