Ooh, bitter! The trouble is, everything was going okay when it was just Netscape's Mosaic and Navigator doing the running. Now Microsoft have thrown a spanner in the works by introducing their special "fucks up pages designed for Netscape" browser and giving it away with their operating system. Result? Millions of people with the operating system going, "But these web pages are fucked up and we only have the Netscape users to blame!" Come January 15th, my new web site is up and will feature (amongst other things) extensive Autechre/Gescom, Skam and 808 State sections. It'll only be readable on Netscape. Sorry, but that's the way it is. .+'''+. mark@sonance.demon.co.uk M A R K http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/sonance/ `+.,.+' http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
