Last time I stopped by, SL 4 just came up and I tried accessing it with
Netscape 3 from my univ. SPARC lab (I'm pretty sure we had at least a T1)
and I ended up having to kill it before I even got anywhere cause I ran
out of lunch break.

You know, sometimes I wonder if people who design casual webpages even
LOOK at what they've written before putting it up... No matter how much
you might like them, certain colo(u)rs do not make good fore/back-ground
combos. ('course I just recently spent 2 hours agonizing over the 3
color scheme for a VB prog..so..) ... and then there's the people that
think a really complex, high contrast graphic is the perfect thing to
tile behind real small, text that just so happens to be a tint or shade
of colors used in the graphic.... Ever wonder if programers should be
required to take an art class before being allowed to design something
that other people will have to look at?

And a big monitor too.. right?
