I've been thoroughly impressed with the individual website projects you're doing.

For contrast, check this out: Internet '96. There, you'll find an archive of corporate websites, such as McDonald's, BestBuy.com, NY Times, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Nickelodeon...

...and they're not as well designed as many of the sites you're crafting nowadays! And mind you, those are corporate websites. Of course, a decade ago is a lifetime, in internet time. ::chuckle::

"They viewed the medium as a chance for inexpensive advertising and invested dozens upon dozens of dollars into it. The results are tremendously humiliating.

In their defense, the technology was different in 1996. Although Internet Explorer 3.0 could run Java applets and inline media, Netscape Navigator could not, and in any case nobody felt comfortable doing anything more complicated than making a few animated GIFs. Additionally, very few web designers had even the most rudimentary of aesthetic sensibilities, and nearly half of them were clinically retarded. The internet in 1996 looks like it had been created in its entirety by a panel of 13-year-olds with Geocities accounts who had about half an hour to spare each night before bedtime."

Wait wait wait, Mac IE 5 is not the same as Windows IE 6. They have different rendering engines and different bugs.

I'll go out on a limb and say you are not required to test in Mac IE 5, but you are required to test in Windows IE 6.

-.- so does that mean I can't check it unless I download Windows IE 6(which I can't), go somewhere that has a computer with Windows IE 6(which I also can't) or have countless IMs with someone that has Windows IE 6(which I'm currently in the process of doing)? eh.

You could download and install a Windows emulator for the Mac =D

eh. I'm good.
