The Good Ole' Days

Come back with us now to those days of yesteryear, when the only way to see the web was with a semi-homemade browser. Deja Vu offers an old-timey browser emulator, so you can see your own website as it would look to someone using NCSA Mosaic.

Giggle. You'll notice I've jumped through at least one hoop to make Flutterby still usable in early browsers. Once I feel comfortable deploying the CSS version it'll proabbly look even better.

And I do still use Lynx occasionally.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
