How many use old browsers (e.g. =< Netscape 4 or IE 6) as their ONLY source of web content?

Great, thanks Peter.

Thanks Mouse.  At least the text shows up.

Thanks Jerome.

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of that page.  It only shows the
emulators of models I have in my "classic" collection.  It's not a list of
everything I would deem "classic" (which is a subjective term anyway).
Some of the computers in my collection not even I would consider worthy of
that term, although I do enjoy having them.

>Terry, I have not seem any response yet.  Did you see my reply?

When I woke up I did.  I was in bed sleeping.

Thanks for others who also responded.  I'm going ahead with what I proposed
and have converted my whole blog section to what I'd devised in the
template..
http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/index.htm

Now to gradually work through the rest of the site.  The collection section
is already 1/2 done but I need to add the navigation links.

Cheers

Terry
