Thanks for your comments on the site. It is nice to read an informed
opinion on text based browsers. I am assuming by the sudden number of
e-mails I am receiving about this topic that the original individual who
posted a message to me has gotten the troops lined up. It is however nice
to read an e-mail from someone with real reasons for changes to a site. I'm
sure you can appreciate though that as an individual having to keep
a computer network going, it is impossible to get around to doing
everything you would like. Funnily enough, I no longer do the CH web site,
and haven't for several months. It was a one off demonstration, so not
much work was done to make it "browser friendly" If you have any further
comments, you can send them to address@hidden, who is now in charge of
the site, and informed me that she will get around to it after she has
gotten the database hooked up.
Cheers,
tim
