I added more disk a couple of weeks ago, dur to the death of an old
and wheezing HP 340 MB drive. It was replaced by a Seagate 1 GB
drive, giving us over 500 MB extra, so space is not a big problem yet.
I do suggest limiting things that depend on sound, and color, and even
somewhat on pictures, as different browsers have different levels of
support for such things. For instance, I have a monochrome display
(not greyscale -- pixels are either black or white) and no sound
capability. The most informative thing to put on a page is text, in
HTML format. Pictures are OK, but remember that not all browsers give
you control over placement. HTML is not a page layout language like
Postscript. It is a hypertest mark-up language.
Some people in certain situations may only have a VT-100 like ascii
text terminal, where inverse video is about as fancy as the special
effects get. The Lynx browser works great on these terminals, but not
if the page is designed from the expectation that everyone runs the
latest version of Netscape.
We need to remember that Netscape is a commercial product that
requires a license, and can not be freely given away. Lynx and Mosiac
suffer no such encumberments! How many Netscape users have registered
their copy and sent in the $49.00 (or $39.00, or whatever the amount
is)?
If you are not a student (full-time?) or a charitable or academeic
organization, and your Netscape is over 90 days old, then you are in
violation of the license -- you are illegal -- you are stealing!
"Thou shalt not steal."
I encourage the use of free browsers, and other free software. That's
why I run Linux and Gnu software from the Free Software Foundation
wherever possible. I have found the quality to be excellent.
