Re: Just when you think you have it all worked

This is a generic reply and *not* target at Bryan.

What I see here is nothing short of a support nightmare.

I'll bet you are as excited as I am about getting the complain that your
pages don't display in a ROUND window correctly!!

Honestly, if you have paid attention (or researched) you already realize
that as developers our ability to control the presentation has _always_
been at the mercy of the viewers preferences to a large degree.

I really don't see anything new in that "feature" of this software.

I think the headache for *us* is going to come in the form of these viewers
REALIZING they have some page layout control. Think about it for a second.

How many "problems" related to the expectation of pixel level control of
display do we see on this list now . . . from DEVELOPERS (who are supposed
to know there is no such thing)? What is going to happen when the average
CONSUMER get's the idea that they should be able to control a pages layout
on their local machine to the "pixel level"?

All hell is going to break loose - that's what.

We are going to have angry customers because their pages do not display as
some Marketing Moron told them it would.

Arrrggghhhh. I guess I'm getting a little upset about this. I made my point
so I'm out of here (I think I'll take a minute and send the Oligo people
some hate mail).

Fuzzy
