Re frames... this site made me laugh: http://victorian.fortunecity.com/brambles/4/frames/ And this one's a nightmare: http://www.ipd.uka.de/~hauma/no-frame-set.html Most of these "I hate frames" sites go way over the top. For example, I think the way frames are implemented in the Sun...

Oh ShufflePuck was so COOL! Going to have to go and find that now... I liked Lemmings too.

Well yeah. I guess he just got sick of the pop up windows at all those porn sites ;) As for Mac users being the "creative ones" well, fair point nummi... but what are you saying? Just 'cos someone uses glass-style buttons, they're not coming up with an original design? Well hell, you could...

CSS are great... don't leave home without some! For a basic reference, this isn't too bad: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp Also, I think there's some stuff on getting going with stylesheets over at http://www.htmlgoodies.com

They have nothing to do with Aqua. Nor is the site a "Mac site." Glass-styled graphics are not new, nor are they the exclusive domain of OS X's UI. I've had a website of one form or another for some 8 years now, and this one is one of the longest-standing designs... it certainly pre-dates OS...

Eh? There are no aqua buttons on my site. But in any case, did you tell Apple that the look's getting old? :D The new site looks nothing like what is there now. I like changing from time to time...

I'm not a fan of frames. I have used them in the past, as they tend to bring ease of design and loading to a site, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for most sites, I find. My main issues centre around coding proper onward links, and bookmarks. When my site was a frames-based one...

Yeah, but when MS come up with something like that, it's fairly easy for others to jump in and add support for tags like "scrollbar-background" and the like. In point of fact, whilst these tags mayhave been proprietary once (I don't know), I don't think they are now... I'm sure I've seen them...

First Mac: a second-hand, pristine condition, Mac Classic. 4 MB of RAM, 40MB hard disk, System 6.08. 68000 processor running at 8MHz, and a 9" monochrome screen. So don't come pissing and moaning to me about how slow OS X is ;) I upgraded in to system 7.1, and actively used it 'til 1998 when...

Gah! Not in the UK...

I'm using Win2k and IE5.5, and they show up blue... One thing to check on PC IE machines in whether IE is set up to ignore some styles or whatever... it may only ben an IE 5.5 and up thing though. Not sure.

Do you mean the blue scrollbars in this site? AFAIK, scrollbar styles are supported in IE on the PC only... I could be wrong. Don't think they come up on IE 5.1 on my Mac at home.

Heh, interesting thread. Well, just 'cause some posters have done / are doing "Liberal arts" stuff, don't let that put you off career stuff any. If it's of any interest to any of the kids out there ;) : I did American Studies here in the UK, specialising in literature... I went to a school...

HEY! Less of the "out-dated" and "dinosaur"! Some of us still run OS 8.6... ;) Actually, it's pretty crap in this day and age. If I had a brand new G4 iMac, I'd be running OS X and not looking back. But alas, I have an old iMac, and 8.6 it is. Just be grateful you don't need to go there.

Uh, believe me, I know how the Church of England came about... ;) I was just making the point that the head of the church isn't necessarily the king -- cos we don't have one -- but the monarch. So the Queen is currently the head of the CoE.

Re selling US Macs overseas... Someone has just sold a top of the range G4 iMac with 768MB RAM etc., a US model, on the UK eBay site for £1,220. It was boxed, as new, and the US guy was responsible for mailing. He has another 5 to sell. THe bids started at £900, and boy was I tempted! So I...

See http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/requirements.html Well, Apple say that "all iMacs" can run OS X. So, why not use the original Bondi blue iMac (1998) as a start? 233 MHz G3 processor 66 MHz bus (I think) ATI Rage (?) graphics card with 2MB of SGRAM to start 4 GB hard drive 512...

Yeah, I live in a massive urban area, about 40 miles from the centre of London in the UK. The population of my borough exceeds 280, 000, yet we have no "consumer-friendly" Apple dealers in the area. The nearest we get to an Apple dealership is a "PC World" (fellow Brits can groan with me on...

I just checked the Apple Store, and the powered speakers are not offered as an option for iBooks at all. I checked the UK store, and the Aus one. Also, I read about the powered speakers. Both stores state: "Currently, Apple Pro Speakers should only be used with the new G4-based iMac or the...

Because the speakers are powered. You already got an answer!!
