Nope - nothing missing - that is every Follies there ever was.
Some 84 Womens events missing?

Why not shell out some bucks for a host? We know about free hosts, don't we?
I don't always rely on W3C validation, in fact I stopped using them. I
haven't been keeping up with WD3 lately. I still using transitional, as I
haven't even updated all the source code yet. Too busy doing other things.
Probably be better off not using ISO or UTF-8. Most older browsers can't
understand such hairy stuff. If you use nothing by default the server will
determine it, so probably depending on your target it might be better not to
use that stuff, but I use transitional with iso-8859-1.

Technically the major problem is that I can't use relative positioning for

I was reading some articles about M$ IE and about the intergration problem
which is the crux of the matter concerning the constant patching that goes
on. I understand the XP service pack that just came out did little to really
fix things, and wasn't a patch for other versions, not helpful. At the same
time, the article was expounding in the virtues of Linux. I haven't had any
attacks, worms, viruses, trojans in years from the Internet using Windows
when I started using Linux box for the gateway. The connection sharing and
the Firewall works excellent, so I can save resources on the Windows box by
not having to waste time with Norton and the like. Nice to use the destop
without all the war filters. Leave that to Linux. I was looking at Mandrake
Discovery last night. Looks likes they setup a installer online for the
image if you got the bandwidth, cool!

Yeah, no Windows running root.

I had to switch the hit counter too. That free NedStat thinggy looks great
but
Quoted message said:in the free version at least, is totally useless as (a) it won't allow IP

I had a 10-100 card go out, I couldn't really narrow it down on the network
until I validated a 568-B I replaced, and then used ipconfig, and ping to
pin point it. Netstat didn't help since all adapters weren't available.
Winipcfg was a nice tool on 98. Before that after testing everything I
thought there was a problem with the bus on one of the systems, but without
nice tools, it was hard to say until got down to some serious testing.
Network Inspector and some of the tools are cool and Cisco has some nice
tools if you got gobs of cash. My Cisco buddies have some nice meters and
testing equipment that they use at the college. Those are cool tools. You
can pinpoint the exact point where a short of a break is in a cable. That's
nice when there are hundreds of runs like in the lab. As for blocking IP's,
I use htaccess but I have noticed it doesn't always work, but most of the
time it does. I think I just need to sort the list.
