As I said, good layout. I might not have even noticed the IIS thing if
your page hadn't given an 'Im not licensed to have this many users' error.
The ONLY reason I gripe about IIS is its 10,000 security holes (remember
CodeRed I & II and Nimbda?). Apache has never had that much of a problem.
I'm really only asking people to use BETTER software. Personally I dont
care if it's thttpd on linux, something on MacOS 6, DOS 3.2, or even a
PDP-1 that you stole from MIT's garbage. If you question me, the Gartner
Group (sp?) has recommended that businesses switch from using IIS to other
web servers becuase of all the problems that Microsoft has been having
lately (
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/24/1814256&mode=thread).
And that's coming from a computer consulting group that ISN'T excessively
anti-Microsoft.

And I wish that Microsoft would stop using gurilla, unethical, and other
dirty marketing tactics. I guess being a jackass is just my nature. :)

One last gripe to the list (and not you in particular). It WOULD be nice
if everyone would force their email client to use a maximum of like 72
columns so that text would still be readable by those of us out there
who prefer to not use 'bloated' graphical email clients. Thanks for
listening.
