[…] George Szirtes complained recently of PooterGeek looking even weirder than usual on his old Mac. His problem was solved by installing the free version of this Web browser. It also improved his experience of various other sites compared with the way they looked under Internet Explorer—not surprising given that IE is software written by bum-heads. […]

“Incidentally, have you ever read John Collee’s A Paper Mask? It was also filmed - not badly, as I recall, but the book is better, if only because it goes into far scarier detail about just how easy it is for someone to impersonate a doctor and get away with it.”

I’ve never even heard of it, but it sounds like it might be very useful to me…

I’d love a MacBook Pro, horrible name be damned - but not until they release a 12” model. Oh, and until I can actually spare the cash - something tells me a part-exchange wouldn’t save me that much…

Moderation? Moderation? PooterGeek’s loathing of all things Apple is getting out of hand…

So you won’t be wanting one of them (horribly named) MacBook Pros then? Hey - the Apple Store is offline as I type - perhaps they’re about to release a 12” model just for you.

Yes, but I can’t take it with me on the train, can I?

(When I trashed my Powerbook a few months ago, I had to borrow a 15-inch model from work, and even that was too big for what I wanted)

Mind you, I can’t access the Web from the train either, so this is a bit academic.

G4? G4? A 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with Firefox is the only kit meaty enough to render PooterGeek in all it’s 3D glory.

Looks OK to me, and I’m using a Powerbook G4 running Safari. And “two shades of lavender” is a pretty fair description of what I can see.

Incidentally, have you ever read John Collee’s A Paper Mask? It was also filmed - not badly, as I recall, but the book is better, if only because it goes into far scarier detail about just how easy it is for someone to impersonate a doctor and get away with it.

I laughed! The site comes out two shades of lavender, very nice they are too. I’m on aol, does that make a difference?

Orange and amber? There isn’t any in my design (apart from the little RSS icons). What Web browser are you using, George?

Eek, Damian! What have you done? This website comes out very weird and nigh on unreadable on my cobweb-hung old Mac G4? The orange / amber is nice but there is a lot of it.
