Dear List Members!

This site has been revamped 100% and it's (pretty much) ready for critique
from you. Please have a look at:

http://emixode.com/English/webhosting/

What you will see with the above link will soon be the main access page
after it's been bashed with critique (http://emixode.com will show the
above, now it's an "under construction" message). I'm aware of the following
problems:

- Grammar/typos can be found on almost any page (even this e-mail) - this
will be corrected soon.
- Images on the order form are incorrect (Seems someone here was able to
count 1..3..2..4).
- The "Specials" page will give a 404 - this is on purpose.
- From Europe, there might be some problems getting the initial "site
found" - http://www.emixode.com/English/webhosting/ might correct the
problem, but this will be solved soon with upgrades to the hardware ("640k
ought to be enough" - Bill Gates; Ah, right on!).

Most interresting to know would be:

What browser you used; What platform (e.g. Unix/Alpha, WindowsNT/Intel);
What screen resolution/colors (most important to me actually); Did it load
fast or could you take the dog for a walk in meanwhile; Your overal "Awww"
or "Booo"; Any bugs you found; Any suggestions/comments/complaints are
appreciated!

Feel free to test anything. You can even play around with the order page /
sign-up pages if you'd like as no orders will be taken at this moment -
though, just use some "John Doe" names.

The site is best experienced with "Thousands of colors" - 256 or less colors
will cause images to be "diffused". It's working under Netscape 3 and 4,
MSIE 3 and 4 (although MSIE 3 will have slight differences due to its
limited "standard" HTML acceptance) - other browsers...? That's for you to
find out.

There's only 1 Javascript page (which will detect MSIE 3 - if you have
trouble with that, e.g disabled javascript, the MSIE 3 page can be accessed
through http://emixode.com/English/webhosting/index_ie3.html) and 1 Java
applet on the main page, the rest has been kept HTML to achieve
compatibility with most browsers.

The rest will be a surprise for you.... and me. Thank you for your time to
review/critique the site!

Sincerely,
    Mike Green - EmixodE Communications
