It is ridiculous to ask web designers to ignore frames because some small percentage of web users insist on living in the past with outdated and obsolete browsers, especially when current ones are available for free. I suppose you are still using Lynx for DOS? If you don't want to use frame supported browsers, fine, just dont expect other's to bend to your wishes to support you. As far as Greenspun's web pages are concerned, I find them cumbersome to navigate in. People are always telling me about something they saw there; I have never been able to find them. Dan C.
