I know this is the HTML & Web page design list, but I'd like to throw in
$0.02. Whenever a user agent (i.e. browser) makes a request, it tells the
server which browser it is, and which version. So if the browser tells
you it is Netscape and the version is 2.0 or higher, you can sent it a
page with frames and javascript and all supported bells & whistles.
Otherwise send a page with "just the facts, ma'am". Anyone who works with
computers should keep in mind the concept of "backward compatibility".
obIDM: Got a pre-release copy of the upcoming Richard H. Kirk release on
his Alphaphone label -- Nitrogen, _Intoxica_ 2CD. Kirk's name does not
appear on the outside of the package, only inside the booklet. Further
details forthcoming. This is supposed to be out in February, though a few
copies are floating around.
