Your web site is very hard to read with the dark blue background and
black text. A lot of people have vision problems, and can not read this
color combination.

On my system (FreeBSD) with the Mozilla FireBird browser, the text
and images are in light-colored windows inside the dark background,
and it's not at all difficult to read. The Netscape 4.6 browser on
the same system _does_ put the black text directly on the dark-blue
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:
http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ I still have a lot of work to
do to the site, but a website is never really finished, is it?

I share your opinion completelly; I hate Flash made sites & banners,
but not downlodable fun stuff in Flash ... /like jokes/ :-)

Mozilla 1.4a doesn't have any problems.

Like trying to accommodate fighting parents, having Micro$oft constantly
extending and subverting standards.

It _definitely_ has some cool stuff. Thanks, Scott!

Thanks. Any things you like more than others? When I make time, I plan
on documenting my tinkering with windows html/hta app to md5 sign and
test your pc files, laser-pointer velocimeter and interferometers, PIC
hardware and software for alarm system, and micro-power radar sensors. I
should update the bookmarks and clean all the dead-links too.

Sorry. The next time I update it I'll see if I can find a better color.
I think I noticed that once while I was developing it - I think it is
due to a low-color VGA mode. I spent too long fooling around trying to
develop the fractal-smith chart background (thanks to da GIMP) to mess
with it any further. You can always edit the HTML yourself and change my
background color. Its not like I've got advertisers paying me.

I missed that. For my snith chart program. I wrote out the eqs for
intersecting circles, coded the graphics in VBA, and captured them
as bmps for the C++ version af the app.

I'll be damned. Thar's fractal impedance admittance charts in them
thar backgrounds!
