scribbled some thoughts: NOTE: Best viewed in a fixed pitch font On 4-Nov-2004, Andrew H. Carter wrote: On Thu, 4 Nov 2004 14:30:19 GMT, "SJH" scribbled some thoughts: NOTE: Best viewed in a fixed pitch font What do you mean? You say the top section won't display, what particular part doesn't display? The graphic part with the Auditor Address and the two logos at the top left, which when you click on one of the links, normally just remain there? Or the red part, well it was red yesterday, but appears as a form now. Have you given them feedback? Have you told them that if they are trying to hide their links, anybody with HTML experience can pull the link in a matter of seconds? Most often that is the case. Even people who frame their site, leave out/**** off people who don't have frames capable browsers due to not realizing they can include links for non frames capable browsers. I once wrote a letter to Land's End stating that due to the fact that there are still quite a bit of browsers on the market which don't do frames, they are alienating them if they don't manage a way for them to explore their site. Since my first experience with the WWW was via a Brother GeoBook NB80C laptop organizer, my process was upon encountering such a site/page: 1) Save the page to disk. 2) Open the page in a text editor. 3) Glean the URLs 4) Create links from those URLs in an HTML file 5) Open that file via my File Manager (akin to Windows Explorer) 6) Resume surfing and if I encountered another framed page repeat steps 1-5. 7) How long would I remain a customer if I encountered a hostile frames page, hostile towards non-frames capable browsers? 8) If everybody and their mother would upgrade, get this and that, because everybody else was doing so, how long would their money last? 9) If a person was in the mood to purchase something online and encountered that hassle, would they just say: "Ah screw it, I'll go some place else"? As far as I can tell, they got rid of their frames design and still keep it frameless, though I'd have to fireup my GeoBook to be sure. -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H.

This is exactly the same as for 2K, and it works fine for the vast majority of MS-DOS applications. If you're using more DOS than that, you need to reconsider your choice of O/S, MS-DOS 6.22 is still available. :-) |

Richard Berger wrote: [...] lets face it, you don't need the bloat, and win98se has been around long enough to have the bugs worked out, plus, whatever extra you get with XP can be added to 98se. Dickey B Win9x, even in its most recent incarnation, is not as stable a system as WinNT/2K/XP, nor is it as capable. If you haven't encountered this fact, you just haven't worked your system very hard. (Bloat is another issue - there is no technical reason for WinXP to be so bloated, but that's MS's marketing strategy, and in any conflict between marketing and engineering, engineering loses.) And, sorry, your last point is simply wrong: many of the extras that come with XP are not available for Win9x. What's more, they won't be, since XP is not a DOS extension, like Win9x, and what's written for XP won't run on Win9x without extensive rewriting, which MS will not do. That's what "no more support means." Future extras and upgrades will not be available for Win9x; MS has closed the door on that OS. BTW, MS will phase out DOS support in its future OSs. To run a DOS program in WinXP, a virtual DOS machine must be set up, which adds complications. As for the bugs being worked out of Win98SE, again, you just haven't worked your system hard enough to encounter them. The reason MS abandoned Win9x is that it was clear that it could not be made into the stable, multitasking system that people want and business needs. That's why MS chose to develop NT into Win2000 and WinXP. Wolf, I would like some examples of things that come with XP that aren't available from other software vendors. Also, please note that my comment regards OLDER MACHINES. I don't think you can dispute the fact that Win98SE will out-perform Win2K on a machine with only 64meg or RAM.... hands down By the way... I do a lot of video and audio editing, and my preferred machine is a homebrew unit with 512m ram, and an ECS741GXM motyherboard running a 1.8G AMD Athelon processor. Running Windows98, this machine will re-process a video file 20% faster than it will when I boot to WinXP, using the same video editing software. |
