yeah, eventually I plan to impliment it or a version of it on the 20 or so sites I maintain for various companies.
Microsoft can block non IE browsers from viewing their couple of dozen sites... if open source pulls together, we can inform thousands of people from many thousands of sites,, they can't do a thing about it... cool huh? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2001 12:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] My personal response to msn.com and Internet Explorer. I think that is a great way to approach things...... maybe I can get my local LUG to implement that. <grin> Probably all LUG's should do that........let newbies get to the first page.....then make them switch browsers to view the rest of the site.......kinda wean them away from M$...... Show them all the other available browsers on the second page/or pop up window.......
