Push technology, Dynamic HTML, daily updates, a pic of Dunkelzahn,
brilliant colors, semi-intelligent ponderings in the new installation of
the Archive.

Looks better if you have ie40 :)

This thing should go live from Aug 1st, so look at it, subscribe, test and
let me know...

Thanks to all, Paolo

Gee, that didn't make much sense did it?

I checked out the new site, which looks great BTW. I clicked on the
button to subscribe and it started to download a .cdf file. I have no
idea what a .cdf file is, or what it is used for. Help.

You should have ie40 to use the channel function. If you don't have it,
just browse the site normally, but it won't be sent to you with a daily
schedule, that is, you should connect and enter the site to see changes.

Bye, Paolo

So I downloaded ie40. The damn thing left me 3.4 megs of space on my
hardrive, and installed that web-interface desktop. Oi! It took me
two hours to get everything straightened out! Thanks loads Paolo ;)

Anyway, I didn't have time to look at it to closely, but on the
surface it looks good. Love that remote :) I'm looking forward to
see how the channel thing works.

For anyone else that plans on downloading ie40, make sure you have at
least 100 megs of free disk space. And to turn off that web/desktop
go to control panel, add/remove programs, and select ie40. After you
click on the remove button it'll give you the option of selectivly
uninstalling parts of it, and that's where you can turn off the
web/desktop.

Oi.

All I can say is "Thank God Microsoft doesn't have any control on what
I use as my window manager on Solaris/Linux/NeXT/HP/etc..." ;)

Well, you're gonna love this. IE4.0 is not ready yet. I just had to
uninstall the thing and go back to 3.02. Sorry Paolo :(
