Hello Arachnids:
Like everyone else on this list, I too have a problem with Java script.
I have a major problem with it because, not only is it not compliant
with Arachne, but it is a Gate$ware crasher as well. With Arachne it
doesn't perform as badly as it does on Gate$ware because Arachne is
trained to simply ignore it inasmuch as possible. On Gate$ware it
frequently causes your machine to display the "blue screen of death".
Then you have to shut down and restart your machine and do scandisk to
fix all the lost clusters. Recovering from a Java script crash
encountered with Gate$ware is of course a much more lengthy and
troublesome task than with Arachne. With Gate$ware you have to sometimes
go into Task Manager and click on a seemingly endless series of
selections to "end task" so that you can supposedly safely shut down your
machine. In the end you will frequently realize that the "end task"
feature isn't really a feature, but just another annoying bug. The task
will not end until you turn off your power switch.
You would think that Bill Gates would do something about the problem and
train his Window$ware to simply ignore Java script. The problem with
Java script would come to an end and web-site developers would immediately
abandon it if all operating system developers should design into their
systems some programming routines to ignore it. Without Java script
everybody would be happy, even the windozers!
All the best,
Sam Heywood
