    Scanlines! Those were huge for a long time! I remember creating a few websites for people and they asked if, “Man, can you do scanlines? Those are AWESOME!”.

    (laughs) yes you were the master of scanlines :P

    I remember the days of infant HTML and it wasn’t pretty. all the < blink > tags.. yikes! Luckily web design has matured for the most part.

    I think there may still be a place for marque text. Stock Market web-site and Fox news would put them to good use

    Remember when you thought IE was the best browser available?

    Firefox isn’t as sexy as she used to be. I don’t want to get yelled at so I won’t call her fat, but she’s getting a more round look to her if you know what I mean.

    That’s why I use Safari, she doesn’t over accessorize, has beautiful text and she likes to go really fast. Firefox and I are still friends but we’re not as close as we used to be.

    We still go out for coffee.

    I like my browsers with a little meat on them ;)

    Too light and they blow away with a stiff wind—too heavy and they break the shocks on your car.

    I’m pretty shallow when it comes to web-browsers.

    Hahaha, scanlines! Remember when we built everything out of <table> tags and used <marquee> as well, remember before XHTML when you didn’t have to explicitly close every tag <br />, it’s amazing how many things change, and how quickly in our world.

    Thanks Carsten for making me feel like I am still suck in the 80s. Haha.

    Firefox is getting rather bloated, yes… and she’s getting memory issues. However, I couldn’t get Safari to install on my system, it would fail every time I tried to run it, even after downloading the installer again.

    Ick, tables, I need to go shower and cast out the dreamweaver demons.

    I made my first web-site in Netscape. They had a way for you to create web-sites within this built in editor.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if its the Mozilla Editor

    I hated the dancing baby. The head was too big… scary stuff.

    Remember DOS? I miss it sometimes when I get a blue screen, or things just don’t work well in general.

    Hey, remember the whole bug 200/millennium bug/year 2000 problem scare? People were really freaked everything would crash…
