The problem people were having was that the site WASN'T detecting if you didn't have flash! I tried to browse there from work, behind a firewall w/o flash, and it sent me to the flash page. That's what people were upset about. Now the page is fixed, so it's great regardles of weather you have flash or not. The problem before, was that though only one page was changed, it was the first page you reach, so if you were sent to the flash version and didn't have flash, you couldn't get to the rest of the site at all!

Just wanted to clear things up.

except for the simple fact, as mentioned by jammer before, that it still doesn't work in lynx. I have always felt it necessary for every page I create (yes, even highly graphical ones) to be lynx-friendly. My reasoning is that an informational site (such as a company's website) is supposed to have content in it, not just a pretty UI.

People talk about XML being nice because it can be very browser-independant. The funny thing is that HTML is pretty bloody browser-independant if you just put a little thought into your design.

Now just stop that!

Mirandu2000,

It hurts to see you berate yourself like that. You are NOT stupid, in fact, I enjoy your postings at VisorCentral and I hope that you continue to post here.

No one can predict the future... but one things for sure... the Handspring marketing department is very clever when it comes to naming products. I find their naming scheme to be much easier to understand than Palms numbering scheme.

PS - Did you like the poem in the "Do the Smilies Stink?" discussion?

Posted by miradu on 03-11-2001 05:52 AM:

Yes.. I know.. *bashful* That comment was sarcastic though, and truthful..

I agree, I LOVE hand's naming scheme..

The pomm was very clever.

How many more disconnected thoughts and ideas can I put in one post?

berate: To rebuke or scold angrily and[or] at length.

Remeber.. I'm a depressed Teenager, living in a world where profiling is common (don't ask where that came from!?!). I do it all the time.. (berate) (ok.. not THAT healthy.. but.. I DO have people to talk to!

(and their VOLUNTARY, not the damn pchycyitrist I had to go to in 3rd and 4th grade.. and maybe 9th

Heck! MY parent's don't know about them even!)

I should stop ranting.. This is what happens when nobody's on AIM for me to talk to..

My bad

Miradu2000,

Cut-n-paste error. Or more likely I thought your handle rhymed with Xanadu. Either way, sorry for the typo. :-(

Believe it or not, when you are a speed typist like I am, it is very easy to make mistakes like that.

I also wanted to mention to you that I really didn't write the poem. Someone sent it to me and I thought that it would be appropriate for that discussion. I wanted to point out to people that even IF someone uses the spell checker it will not guarantee that their post is error free.

My recommendation to you is to keep on chatting away online. The skills that you are exercising (reading, typing, research) will help you later in life and will most likely improve naturally over time.

It has been a long time since I was a 'depressed teenager' and the world was arguably different then. But my advice to you is try to enjoy it, and don't take it so seriously. Before long you will find yourself in a world where you have to support yourself and a world where demands on your time will most likely exceed the number of hours in a day.

Take care...

Ed
