Not all web developers have gone insane - just the ones near marketing departments but I do take your point. There really ought to be some kind of apprenticeship for web designers. I worked for a council as 'accessibility man' - where you have to make sure the website is accessible - supposedly a legal requirement for councils and in theory coming for businesses. When you make a site accessible its quite entertaining - for accessibility you essentially end up with a simple clean html only 'parallel' site. Fully capable users found that site much much much more satisfying and useful than the 'flash' one.On Fri, 2009-09-18 at 09:19 +0100, tom wrote:4 cores 2.Ghz 512K cache per core!Given the performance of a simple SODDING SET OF 4 WEB PAGES!! on my 2x2ghz core2duo, looks like these chips will be minimum spec for running more than 2 windows on firefox or internet explorer in a couple of months.

Flash is for the designer - very very rarely for the user. Tom te tom te tom -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
