1) URLs are case-sensitive, and irrespective of shortcuts that Netscape
happens to implement, URLs should include a protocol (eg. http://) for
the benefit of browsers that actually follow the rules.  In other words,
you meant "http://www.fcn.net/tfndoom", not "www.fcn.net/TFNdoom" as you've
given above.

2) For (at least) the second time, you've failed to update the ALT=
tag, so that text-only browsers still see:

	TORONTO FREENET DOOMSDAY CLOCK


		   11:59:59

	  12:00:00 IS THE END FOR TFN

...instead of the crudely-rendered "11:59:00" that appears in the .GIF.

Bob, perhaps you should consider contracting out the maintenance of
this page to someone who can tell time?

Cheers,
