Hi All,
In keeping with the goal of staying abreast of the latest of OS/2 offerings, I
have decided to stop publishing the HTML 2 version of the Web site.
Since the availability of Beta 1 of Netscape/2, I have had a Netscape/2
version of the Web site. I have published no links to this site, yet it
already has more than twice the number of visits daily than the HTML 2
version.
The Netscape/2 version is much faster to browser and locate apps than even the
HTML 3 version. Just as important, it is takes much less time to maintain.
So, back to the matter at hand. I have debated for some time about
eliminating the HTML 2 version of the site. I have held off, after all, two
versions aren't so hard to track... Three however are. As the HTML 3 and the
new Netscape/2 versions are superior for visitors and easier to maintain for
me, they are the versions I will keep.
As of Sunday, the HTML 2 version will go dark, never to return. I understand
that some (less than 2% of all visitors) have only text access to the site.
I'm sorry, but you will have to either get an up to date browser, enable
graphics, or use the FTP alone.
Thanks for your support, your time, and your visits. I hope to add more of
your ideas in the near future now that I am not chained to the very limited
HTML 2 format.
