He's right Felix, he's using Frontpage 3.0 (tech. snob joke).

(Isn't there just - see above)


The technology only gets accepted when it becomes usable - at present, I'd

advise any 'non-techie' to pay for a service which gives them free

support, because they're almost certain to need it at some point. I think

Freeserve ought to be more attractive to many 'techie' users, as they are

less likely to need help.


Its important for first time or new users to the Internet to have all the

help they need, or they won't discover many important aspects of its use

(like Meta tags Andy). As they sit there without help, they'll hate the

Internet, the PC itself, the modem, and decide that its all overhyped

nonsense that isn't worth looking at. And maybe they'll realise that with

a free service, you get what you pay for...
