As I said, good layout. I might not have even noticed the IIS thing if
your page hadn't given an 'Im not licensed to have this many users' error.
The ONLY reason I gripe about IIS is its 10,000 security holes (remember
CodeRed I & II and Nimbda?). Apache has never had that much of a problem.
I'm really only asking people to use BETTER software. Personally I dont
care if it's thttpd on linux, something on MacOS 6, DOS 3.2, or even a
PDP-1 that you stole from MIT's garbage. If you question me, the Gartner
Group (sp?) has recommended that businesses switch from using IIS to other
web servers becuase of all the problems that Microsoft has been having
lately (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/24/1814256&mode=thread)ead).
And that's coming from a computer consulting group that ISN'T excessively
anti-Microsoft.
OK, I'll
bite since you DID ask...
Pretty good layout I'd say.
And I must say I love the use of IIS and Javascript... oh wait did I say
love? No, thats not the word... oh yes. I frown upon it.
I would wish that at least SOME geeks would avoid using sh*t software.
Even Apache on NT is better...
Gee, thanks Pat. Hind sight is 20/20 I guess, and if I knew now what I knew
when I built the page,
I would have gone with PHP but since I am in no way, shape or form a
programmer or web developer,
I started with ASP and IIs. I am terribly sorry that my use of ASP caused
you so much physical pain
and anguish, even to the point that you couldn't see past the mechanics of
the design to what I was
trying to offer -simple information about my collection of old computers.
I would wish that at least SOME linux snobs would grow up, and stop acting
like conceited jackasses.
And I wish that Microsoft would stop using gurilla, unethical, and other
dirty marketing tactics. I guess being a jackass is just my nature. :)
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
E.
One last gripe to the list (and not you in particular). It WOULD be nice
if everyone would force their email client to use a maximum of like 72
columns so that text would still be readable by those of us out there
who prefer to not use 'bloated' graphical email clients. Thanks for
listening.
