For several years I have maintained a list of computer collectors on my home page and for
the last year I have had a specific site at another url. The list has over 40 names on it.
Besides listing the collectors and their contact information (well, most of them anyway)
there is an email address for the list itself and I send out emails to list whenever I get
a query about donations or sales.
Ok, so far so good. The problem is that I don't have email addresses for everyone on
the list. Also, there may be members of this group who would like to be on the list.
Therefore :
1. Anyone who wants to be on the list, please send me an email at :
antiquecomputers(a)hotmail.com
Make sure you have a good email addy in your response. Thanks!
2. Anyone on the list who has not provided me with an email by March 1st will be deleted
from the list until an emaill address is provided.
Please don't respond to this post, unless it is to comment on the lists, respond to :
antiquecomputers(a)hotmail.com
Lastly, I assume that nearly everyone here has some sort of site on the web. Mine has been
up since 1995, relocated in 1997, and has spawned hundreds of emails from all over the
world. The list of collectors provides me with a place to turn when I get leads about
computers in Europe and the States. Since I don't buy computers any more, only taking
donations, any offers of computers for sale or from locations outside of metro Toronto
that are sent to my home page email adress, are sent to the members of the list. ALL
requests to the antiquecomputers(a)hotmail.com email address are re-sent to members of the
list. Hope this makes sense !

You can click on the error icon and it'll show you what is wrong with the

While your points are well taken (it is easy to design BAD pages using tools
such as DreamWeaver), hand writing HTML is not practical for most
professional web development (which I have been doing for well over 10
years).
When my firm sets up a site that has over a hundred pages (just counting the
"static" content) and then client say "change these logos", "move
the tool
bar from the top to the left", or other quite common changes, we would
quickly go broke if we decided top open each of the pages and manually

A good example of useless software. That explains why so many web
pages are created which older browsers can't use, for no good reason.
I can't understand why anyone who isn't mentally retarded would even
want to use software to design web pages instead of relying upon their
own brains.
It's much easier to just write all of the HTML by hand. That's what I
do, unless I have a need for dynamically generated pages, in which
case I write the Perl or javascript by hand that generates the
dynamically generated code. It really isn't that difficult to learn
HTML and some very basic javascript, since there isn't much at all to
learn for the basics. What takes the time is deciding on the overall
site and page design itself, not the technical details. Writing the
HTML doesn't doesn't take long at all (actually, it's probably faster
than fooling with that annoying software used to create web pages) and
it will give you much more flexibility. Try it, you'll like it.

Yes, you should be mechanically generating such boilerplate. But not

... which is why any server worth its salt offers modularity or template
support for including these kinds of components into a standard site-wide
skeleton. Even plain-jane Apache can accomplish this with SSI, and some
servers like Roxen really go the extra mile in this regard.

Why not just hack a short perl script (or a shell script using various
other UNIX-land tools like sed, ed, etc.) to make the changes? You
could even use some slightly longer and slightly more complex scripts,
C code, or whatever suits your fancy, to automate things a step
further. That way, you can automate such tasks without having to
resort to commercial software that's doing who knows what sort of
screwy things to the HTML, javascript and perhaps cgi scripts as well.
Going past that, if you need more complexity, you can set up a system
of templates that work with database routines to make some changes on
the fly while web pages are being viewed by different categories of
human viewers... or different web browsers. All sorts of fun things
can be done without lowering yourselt to use such annoying commercial
software, without going broke, without hand-modifying the HTML (but
still modifying it to your liking, with the same good results as if
you had done it by hand), to modify large quantities of HTML.

Nice if you have inhouse staff to do that. Then there are maintenance
issues of the code base (along with the data for the site). Here's a bit of
XSLT that let's me define links to the next and preceeding pages within a
section of my site:
<xsl:if test="boolean(preceding-sibling::page[@listindex
!='no'][position()=1]/attribute::filename)">
<li><a href="{preceding-sibling::page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=1]/attribute::filename}{$global-extention}"
title="{preceding-sibling::page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=1]/child::title}">Next</a></li>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="boolean(following-sibling::page[@listindex !=
'no']/attribute::filename)">
<li><a href="{following-sibling::page[@listindex !=
'no']/attribute::filename}{$global-extention}"
title="{following-sibling::page[@listindex !=
'no']/child::title}">Previous</a></li>
</xsl:if>
<li><a href="{../page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=last()]/@filename}{$global-extention}"
title="{../page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=last()]/title}">First</a></li>
<li><a href="{../page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=1]/@filename}{$global-extention}"
title="{../page[@listindex !=
'no'][position()=1]/title}">Last</a></li>
Now, imagine this is part of a company site and I leave my current
development position (promoted, new job, whatever). Next guy that comes
along now has to maintain this; there's only a handful of people I know that
have even worked with XSLT and they're not local to where I am.
And this is with an open source XSLT processor running under Unix.

Have you never heard of template processors? There are tons of them out
there (you could probably even abuse cpp) and if you don't like any of
them, a custom one could be whipped up with a few lines of Perl/Python
or whatever language you prefer. So you make the logos a defined value,
change the replacement rule for it and fed your source through the
preprocessor again.

Gosh, Guys.
David said his company has been doing web design for 10 years. You could
probably assume that they've seen every technology and method for
designing and implementing web pages there are and are probably using them
as well. I think the folks who've responded so far read way too much into
what David said.
So anyway, yes, we're all HTML geniuses around here, but the discussion is
kinda lame.

Ok, I know nothing about Dreamweaver - but to make changes like you

check out the revelvant template from the database, edit it in whatever
your favourite HTML editor is, then check it back in?
Also, presumably, such a system is independant of web server platform /
software, so you're not tied down to a particular vendor either (subject
to you not using platform-specific code for the server side and instead
using perl, JSP etc.)

I don't even need to do that these days - after going through the 'bugger,
I've got to change 140 pages here' stage last year I standardised on a PHP
frontend with CSS backend and top-down navigation for all my sites. Nowadays
every page is standard and is generated from 4 files - header, menubar,
content & footer. All text, titles, headers, paragraphs etc can be changed
instantly by altering a single CSS attribute. Even the photo galleries and
picture views are dynamically generated so no sweat to change things there
either. If I do need to change something in each PHP file I can safely do it
sitewide with 1 dialogue box.
All hand coded using Dreamweaver's 'code view' because I like DW's file
management and syntax colouring. DW doesn't support PHP per se (well, MX
doesn't) other than the colouring so it's instantly obvious if I've missed
off a semi-colon or not closed a tag properly.
Older browsers are happy because there's nothing complicated for them to
render; the only one I've found that can't display properly is an old
browser for 68k macs that doesn't understand a <br> is a line break so you
just get a string of text. Can't remember its name....

Possibly.
My website [1] was originally hand written [2]. The problem I had was
adding new pages to the site. For instance, adding a new about page (with
new self-portrait) required creating a new file (which usually was a copy of
the previous page and then edited) plus editing two or three other pages.
Tedious and somewhat error prone; forget about changing the layout or even
updating the HTML to something more modern (original site [2] was HTML 3.2,
new site [1] is now HTML 4.01 strict). I have over 140 pages to edit if I
want to change the look.
Talk about tedious.
So I spend about a few weeks total convering my site to XML (pretty much
contains the content only), then writing an XSLT file to create all the
pages from the XML file, plus add the navigation links. Now it's easier to
add pages to the site; heck, it's easy to add whole new sections to the
site.
But XSLT is *not* an easy thing to work in. Over 1,000 lines of ... code
... to implement an automated way to add new pages.

New subject: APF Imagination Machine
Any ideas on the value of an APF Imagination Machine
with a few carts and cassette tapes? Can't find
either of my collectible computer books to get and
idea so I thought I'd try asking here. Found one of
my books just now that rates it between $25-$50 but I
suspect this is worth more than that. No box but the
software and manuals. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Definitely in the $100+ range, with games obviously more... if you had
the original box, well then....
