I think that will change as computers don't require "nerds" to run them. Once voice recognition, and other ways to make computers less intrusive, works, I think people will get back to content. HTML coders who can't do squat as far as design or who have even a reasonable resemblance to good taste could work for $50 an hour plus because people didn't know how to code. Thus all the ugly web pages out there. (I'm still working on the looks on mine). But now everyone can do it with little effort in comparison to just a year or two ago, things will move more towards content (and the new markup languages should help). Craft dosn't have to be gone forever. It's just we've been so busy wrestling with the computers we don't have time to concentrate on the essentials. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch My computer's sick.
