December 31, 2002 Special Odds N Ends UpdateOk...well I am amazed. I was ready to pull these pages down and burn them onto a cd for a good laugh when I'm telling my future grand kids about the simplistic way we used to do web pages. ...then I looked at the server logs. Apparently, these pages are still being viewed on a regular basis...in fact to my absolute astonishment, even more so than when they were current. So I have decided to keep these pages available for their archival value with only minor changes. Thanks Gang Brad |
