How short people's memories are. It was just barely a year ago that IE 4.0
came out, the first version that finally made it possible to view the
plethora of poorly-designed, works-with-Netscape-only, nonstandard
"Netscape" tag-ridden web sites.

However, a cursory glance at the document source of the first frames
doesn't reveal any glaring errors in the HTML -- in fact, there aren't
really any Microsoft tags that aren't presented in the context of valid
HTML (as comments or meta data). The problem with the site (to turn this
into constructive criticism) is the sloppy, inconsiderate practice of
making all navigation buttons Java applets and JavaScript forms!

obIDM: What happened to the October reissue of 808 State's Newbuild on
Rephlex? Not that I mind my original retaining its value...
