Remember ! Those are really My Own Opinions
You dont have to agree at all..

            :)    

        First some small words of advice. If you got  MS_Explorer you wont be able to use all of my facillities,
        cause it does not support Netscapes java_script fully out
 

 If you need a good browser for now, i would recomend Netscapes
First of all. It's them who is developing java_script. That means that
 
It's gonna be their browser who will support it first.
 
And theirs the company that works most intimately with Sun, who,
as ya all know have presented us with the perfect solution to a perfect world
That's right J A V A...
 
btw: Java is going to be the new open standard for the WWW
and (maybe) VRML "in_making". Virtual worlds that is   3D  .
 
Yes, i've heard that there is Silicon Graphics VRML 2.?
( Moving Worlds )
That version ( 2.2)  doesn't use Java as its scripting language, instead it uses VRML Script.
 
But there seems to be practically no difference between
VRML Script and Java Script according to sources i've heard.
 
But if you find that to much, Try TCL_scripting,
with some 25 lines of code you'll get a fully interactive program filled
with...whatever
 
 I dont like Microsofts new browser 4.0.
I've downloaded it & installed it on my W_95.
 
The first two times i try to start after installing it, it
just hang there, just before going GUI.
I then get a error complaining about my shell32.dll.
 
So i decide it's corrupted/changed whatever..
I install W_95 again over my old one. Throwing out all new(ER) dlls etc etc.
 
Well it starts H A L T I N G L Y and..
Sort of works. S l o w l y.
 
What i would like to have from that version is the opportunity to treat
my "desktop" etc in a html_fashion, that is a very good idea.
 
There seems to be some farfetched explanation
that It Will Work
 
but only with the latest version of W_9(?)7
 
And of*_course with their new system Memphis...
 
That will have all of those finesses anyway
probably built in into the kernel.
 
( and Yes. Now they've confessed that it is so ;)
But, that's a joke. This browser is'nt a beta (Alpha?), This should be a functional version...
 
Dont get me wrong now
 
I do find W_95 one of, if not, the nicest GUI tha i've ever played with
 
BUT
 
I dont like the MicroSoft way of making their software so
un_open, at the same time as they tell you that it's so open...
That is, as long as you use their "magical interface"
 
And directX. That's also a joke.. Yeah i know that it works..
S o m e t i m e s  - on  - s o m e  computers
        :)
 
From microsofts side it's a very good strategy.
 
They are accually shaping a new generation of third_party programmers
who constructs "their programs"
using  MicroSoft_interfaces that they dont really understand.
 
 
Wha_Do_Ya_Mean, mean one ?
 
 
Well, first you have the compiled code, the next logical step up is assembler.
That is a very hard milleu for most programmers to live in, so as the next step
you'll find the older programming_languages like "C" and Cobol and "Basic"
(wich BTW more is like a scripting_Language).
 
Still those languages aint reuseable,
so now we construct high_level_languages that moves even further away from the real
compiled code. Programs like C ++  or    ... whatever..
 
Well, that would be understandable,
but from the fact that we now have one Company
(That's MicroSoft)
that with their Event_steered GUI_enviroment has
really crushed the competition.
 
 
And as they've made it very hard to understand their original way of
shaping their GUI (Graphical User Interface) they offer us yet another interface
(Visual c++) to interface with their old Programming_interface.
 
And not only that,
they give us one interface more, now called ActiveX to fasten up our graphics.
 
So the programmers move even further away from the real code.
And when you're using something that B I G in way of Generally_shaped libraries
You'll end up with a lot of "overhang", sort of, in your compiled code.
So the 3_party_Softwares will get Bigger and Slower and Bigg . .
 
...Did i hear the world Complicated ???
:):):)
 
 But the consumer wont notice, cause every three months
thine computa gets a litle faster
Presuming ofcourse, that you'll buy a new one   :)
 
 
Of course, i know that this "trend" is a generell one,
shared by most of the Software_idustri
´
 
But the real shame is that that those guys who have mastered some
pretty difficult High_Level Programming_language ends up
with knowing Diddely_Squat_Nothing about their real code structure.
 
They have moved so far away from what needed to be written in form of
machine_instructions and are using such compartementalized language
that they themselves would have a hell of a time understanding
their finished results if they tried to read their own lowlevel_code.
 
 
 
My view is that instead of building highlevel on highlevel on ..
Microsoft should have started with making their GUI_interface
as easily read & written as possible.
 
Then we would'nt have had the need for new strange
"Simplyfing Concepts" that takes you even further away from the code.
 
And my point being made is this, that when we all now how to make programms
that works (sort of:). We will only know how to make them for MicroSoft..
 
Because all the libraries we use and all the OOP:s GUI_code we learnt is
written for being used in one enviorment only
 
That in it self dos'nt need to be a bad thing
It's called Standardisation, right.  :)
 
 
But when all the underlying code is unknown to us
and understood only by "The Experts"
 
 
W E L L
"read my lips" as one said
 
 
 
or was it Dolly ??
No, then it would have been
 
"Read my Boops".
 
Think about it.
But beware, there could be hair growing on your hands ...:)(:
 
 
an exiting 385 KB HTML.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
something of  use
 

 

Nevermind what Microsoft says about their digital. signatures_sheme,
       when your downloading a activeX script /program you're inviting disaster :).
 
      Why ? well, anyone programming  (: in the language of their choice :) for ActiveX
      can do whatever "they" want with your computer, as soon as you download it,
      as long as they adhere to Microsofts regulations vivasi the programming_interfaces.
 
     And do you want to use your browser as it's meant to?
    You better check Preferences in Netscape or View in MS explorer.
 
    There you'll find something called Advanced in wich
     you'll be able to to change your Cache_size.
    DO IT...(change your size that is :).
 
    In netscape you'll find two caches. One that is the ram_Cache, and one that
    writes to your HardDisk and treats that as memory_reserve.
 
 In MS_explorer there seems to be only one ?
    At least, that you yourself can tune in.
 
    My experience is that you'll find Netscape more able in showing you other
    peoples pages than MS_explorer
 
    Also, i've found that people does'nt set the right speed for their ports out to the modem.
    You do this in W95 at the Control Panel / modem and at the System folder.
 
    The speed for a 28 000 bps modem, with a newer (2-3 year old) computer is 115200 bps,
    and if you uses a 14400 its about 56000 bps.
 
With an compressed file, you should at least be able to get a 3.2 KBytes/sec over a 28.8Kbps connection.
2.7 KBytes/sec over a 24 Kbps connection. 1.6 KBytes/sec over a 14.4 Kbps connection;
 
 And at last...
     have fun & do  C l i c k____ on everything around here.
