Yes, as you say it is very helpful when creating your own homepages..
But still.. The graphic colours look very bad.. Why dont you do as i do.
Buy an old 386.. They cost nearly nothing.. Then install Netscape..
Then you will actually see how your homepage looks.. Because 90%
of all people on the Internet is using Netscape.. And it is much easier
to see the result on the PC than on the STE with Monster.. I did exaclty
like you are doing now when i created my homepage in the beginning..
And i thought the result look good, that was until i saw it on a friends
PC.. It looked like shit ;-)
But with the ugly 386 it was easier to see the results directly..
That is the second main thing i use my 386 to.. The first main thing
is to run it as a server to my Atari 8bit computers with APE and SIO2PC..
:-)) And as i said, to create nice Atari Homepages :-) Who said that
PC is for no use.. I have found 2 ! :-)
But still, ny main systems is Ataris.. I have 8 now.. And it will always be.
