Hehe..........local college here is advertising web design courses using
'latest technology' Front Page. Pi**ed myself!!


No I didn't!

But molished I to grin...

A few years ago someone 'kindly' produced a website for the village
using Frontpage - if the water round here wasn't so shallow the site
would have sunk with all hands in seconds flat, it was so heavy, and
full of holes.

Didn't work in Firefox or Opera (which I'd guess was deliberate on the
part of its 'writers'), and I rewrote the pages in a text program, and
it worked with every browser I could lay my hands on (including
Nutscrape 4), and totalled (IIRC) around 10 kb, whereas his script was
over 200 kb.

TAAAW, the pics could all have had their content reduced by a factor of
ten without compromising their quality on the monitor.
