What Chief Troy said is too polite.
Oh, I’m so embarrassed…
The bookmark thing has been traced, as I’m sure no one will be surprised to hear, to “user error” (translation: I fucked up). My brother mentioned a neat trick to me for transferring my bookmarks from Nutscrape to IE in one fell swoop: find the bookmark HTML file on your hard drive and make it your home page in IE. No waiting for your home page to download when you fire up the old browser, you can instantly go wherever you want, etc. I did this, and then got to looking at it and decided, “there are a lot of pre-installed bookmarks on this that I never use, and wouldn’t it be better to have my OWN bookmarks at the top?” So I went into FrontPage and started doing surgery on the file. If I had looked at the HTML code I would have seen the huge warning that says, “this is an automatically generated file - DO NOT EDIT”. Of course, the next time I opened Nutscrape it scrambled the file because of my unauthorized editing. Sigh. I’ve pretty much fixed it and any further changes to the page will be done through Nutscrape’s “edit bookmarks” feature.
Microsoft’s plans for world domination notwithstanding, I’ve been forced to admit that IE is the better browser. Sometimes domination of a market segment is justified by the quality of the product.
Obvious Guy:
I agree with you about AOL. I participated in an online survey about power-company deregulation in Texas and was asked what I thought of the possibility of buying my electricity from AOL. :eek: I heaped as much scorn on the idea as I could.
Milossarian & Altair:
I find the “planet Microsoft” graphic a bit chilling too. But at least Bill’s interplanetary defense system is keeping the evil sentient meteors from swarming through the atmosphere the way they are on Planet Nutscrape.
(Sidebar: What’s the giant “N” on the Nutscrape graphic stand for? “knowledge.”)
Say, once MS and AOL have finally devoured everything else like the Kilkenny cats, won’t it be fun to watch them try to eat each other?
Well, god forbid anyone should ever be accused of politeness in the pit, so…
Don’t let the feather headdress fool you, Jois, you myopic git; I’m just on my way to a Village People concert. It’s Chef Troy, not Chief.
(grin)
Oops! Sorry, Chef, the glass eye fogs over whenever I think of Netscape. Have a nice time at the concert!
