    PC is kosher, Peter...

    I decided to simply replace the hard drive with two larger ones. The new motherboard/cpu as well as a host of other upgrades will have to wait until summer...

    No the feeling although finances have eased off a little for me. I'm actually not panicking now. I hope it just gets better and better, might get our lives back a bit.

    First, thank you Peter and Steve...

    And Steve, you hit the nail on the head. That was my point completely.

    MJM - we'll agree to disagree on this one. I've never cared much for W3C standards, because it doesn't mean anything to the average web user. I build sites that are aesthetically pleasing and are easy to use. I build them with one goal in mind - getting a companies message to its users. I test on two levels of web browsers to make sure the features work for about 90% of people playing on the web these days. I don't care whether or not it meets W3C standards as long as its useful to my clients and the people who browse the web sites I've built.

    It always makes me laugh when someone has to run a W3C scan to find "errors" on a site. My question always is, "How many did you find BEFORE you ran the scan?"

    Well, would you like to have a site that works for 90% of people or 99% of people (there is ALWAYS something that doesn't work quite right)? I am sure if you were managing a an ecommerce site and the owners made 90% of what they could possibly make that would be OK with them.

    Sure the W3C doesn't mean anything to an average user. And if that is all you care about then that is great. However, as things change people will be accessing your site using different devices (ie. Cell Phones, PDAs, etc.). As this picks up, your customers will ask "why doesn't my site work on my cell phone?" and you will have a hell of a time explaining that to an average user.

    To answer this, "How many did you find BEFORE you ran the scan?" You have "<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>" on top of all your pages. Even Google thinks so: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...2F&btnG=Search
