2005

August 18: New look to the main page but it's best viewed in Firefox or Opera browsers, where the new page looks the way I intended it to.  Like others, I have discovered that Microsoft Internet Explorer® often messes up html code; this happens with the current page if you view it in Internet Explorer®.  There's a reason MS is often referred to as The Evil Empire.  If you are not yet using Firefox as your browser, why not?  Most web security sources consider it safer (e.g., less subject to browser hijack) and more reliable than creaky old Internet Explorer®. You can download a FREE copy from mozilla.org. It's part of the Open Source movement that is revolutionizing the computer and Internet world. Be part of the Revolution!
