I think you've hit the nail on the head here. What's needed is a HTML-Lite specification that can be used to drive the 'small' web. No need for bespoke clients - totally accessible. It would also allow older machines t

I own its little brother, the PPC512DD. It is in fully working condition. As I understand it, the only difference is the amount of memory (512K vs 640K) and the inbuilt modem of the 640. At some point I'll fathom how to add an external

I have one rule about my less than steller coding abilities: if it works, then it's good code. Life is too short to worry about whether your skills measure up to anyone elses, as you'll always find someone better at it then you.
