annoying website of the day

Rather than frustrate you with a pile of junk, I’d rather tell you how to update your browser so you can come back and see what my site has to offer. . . .
You could try the new version of Netscape 6.2. – it’s pretty nice and has some neat features.

I do use 6.21 sometimes, but prefer 4.76 – despite its limitations – because 6.21’s bookmark editor is less functional and I have utterly failed to configure 6.21 for mail (it seems to lack the notion that my POP and SMTP servers may not be the same). The one feature of 6.21 that I really appreciate is the ability to change the base font size with one keystroke.

I’ve yet to see anything that was clearly worth breaking backward compatibility. (It’s not only laziness that keeps the formatting primitive on my pages.) I’m particularly unimpressed by the current fad for confining the body text to the middle third of the window.
