On a related note - I've been researching the
history of computing for a
book that I'm working on. At this point, I've got a pretty complete (I
think) timeline. As soon as I can figure out (or some kind soul explains)
how I can convert a MS Word (5.1 - I hate the later versions) table into an
HTML table (the timeline runs about 10,000 words and I can't face the
thought of re-typing it), I'll post it on my Web site for list members'
general edification and enlightenment, as well as criticisms, corrections,
and nit-picking.
Those later versions of Word you hate will auto-convert to HTML, but I
seem to recall that Microsoft's "internet assistant for word" (or some
such) came out around the 5.x timeframe.
As somebody pointed out, one huge table is a Bad Thing, but it should be
trivial to break it up into multiple tables once you've HTMLized it.
