Please give me some feedback and suggestions, especially

If everything's at least half-decent in Netscape (ie readable) - I don't have (or want) this program on my new pc.

Does it look ok in your screen resolution? I know it's not centered but that's so the java popups on the scrollbar are aligned properly at any res.

Load time, if at all (recently my f2s server has been down about 5hrs/week according to interseer).

Ideas and stuff for content, I don't want to steal more than I already have from other sites. New page? Another item?

If you have the time and can be arsed, I'd appreciate and value any criticism and suggestions.

The site itself is good, though the colour scheme makes it look dated.

No offence, but i think you logo looks like a sign for a cheap motel :)

Good site, however I also agree the title reminds me of Holiday 8.

Assuming you want to know about Netscape 4x. Looks exactly the same in Netscape4.5 and in Opera5.11. In Opera the "DHTML" menus don't work though. The main links work so that doesn't crash anything.
Don't mind what they say about the looks. ;) It is a little retro but I think that's cool. Fits with the DOS content.

Sweet!

Cheers, do you think it's worth me continuing the dos thing - I mean, it's the only semi-original thing I've done, but you don't need to know what dos is if you've got win ME or later, do you?

Absolutely! I need to learn DOS, shouldn't that be enough motivation for you? :p
Isn't ME the only version that doesn't depend on DOS? As I understand it (from the mouth of a MS employee) it's intended for home users and game playing mostly. Not for pros :cool:

Ha! Maybe if I was a pro, I might delete this ME ---- from my system and go back to the glorious 95.

I can still put the ME dos window in full screen mode and pretend though, can't I? :confused:

Ahhhh, to be a lamer :cool:

When/if I get my new puter I might go directly from 95 to 2K. If that's too bulky I'll go back to 95. 98 and ME are for lamers. :cool::cool:
Have you seen XP? OMG! It looks like My Little Pony. I would puke. :p

Set the bg colour to white, not all of us use the default white as a background for our worktops.

Not bad, seen worse.....

The whole interface- ICK! :p~ <--this smilie is puking green mucus
Got some screen shots. The programs look like fluffy blue clouds. MS is kissing Mac --- bad here. But Mac is esthetic. This is for kindergarten. "Look, little Lisa. Click the funny button. Gooood!"

:p Don't forget the WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL integration with IE. Does 2K have that too btw?
