Howdy all I thought you guys might want to check out: http://www.rasterman.com/ It's Rasterman's of Enlightenment fame homepage. Warning, it's a bandwidth hogger but very pretty. View it in Netscape first, then _try_ to view it in M$ IE (if you have access to that browser).

A bandwidth hogger? I'd say. The opening page is over three quarters of a megabyte! It is a stunning site though. Perhaps I should nick his technology and update our corporate Intranet site with it? That'd make people look at the "created with Linux" label a bit differently.

It uses Netscape layers. These are obsolete (never anything else in most people's opinions). It might keep the IE crowd out, but it's not big and it's not clever! (Well, actually, it's immensely clever. The bloke is one of the stars of the open source movement. If I had a tenth of his talent I'd consider myself a genius!) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Ok, but if you want to convince MS users that Linux has enough eye candy for them, don't you think Rasterman should make his site more accessible? I have IE/Win95 at work, and Netscape/Linux at home. However, if I didn't have Linux, I'd be out of luck, and I'd still be using Win95 at home due to ignorance and silly "can only be viewed with XYZ browser" tags.

Talent and no brains, apparently. I don't know why this pissed me off, but it did. Linux advocacy gone astray. Sorry, but this is not the way to win the war, or even the battle.

Had a laugh as Rasterman cannot spell either ... (Warning message under MS IE ...) Sorry, how can I use 'Macromedia Flash' with Linux ???

I'm rather glad you said that, because I had the same reaction to it. I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want to dis a very well respected member of the open source developer community and get flamed for it. This web site actually seems to sum up raster's work rather well: immensely pretty, immensely clever, but not much use in the practical world. An exercise in showing off, not much apart from the demo writers of old. If only he'd put his brains into writing usable apps; he'd knock MS into touch single handedly. Herding cats, and all that... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Matt: Nothing personal to you, but that's just plain retarded to have a web page that won't view in Internet Explorer. Ok, so some folks use Netscape and others use IE. Does that mean because so many pages out there are poorly written and won't suppport Netscape properly, that we start writing pages to not support IE? Quite frankly, I want to be able to view a page regardless of the browser I'm using, and if HTML writer isn't smart enough to write the page properly, too bad for them. I'll go somewhere else and use something else. - Mike On Thu, 25 May 2000, Matt Wong wrote:
