What's the URL? I'd like to see it.

Nice. Simple, fast, very easy to navigate. But one question. As a viewer (potential customer, etc), what do I care if you used "Validome" (or any other HTML evaluator)? It works or it doesn't, and I really don't care about your "tools" - the logo is nothing but clutter. Unless I'm missing something...

Windows only. I spit on Unix/Linux.

Spitting is a dirty habit. I hope you've given *nix a try at least. No one likes a bigot.

Thank you. No, the user does not care about what standards the page is compliant with. The reason for it being there is simple. The site is still under construction. When changes are made, it is likely that there are some problems. The link provides an easy way to test the validity of the page. The icons will be removed in a few days time, when the site is launched. Thomas

I have Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux on my desktop computer, and Mac OS X Tiger on my notebook computer. For all personal work, I use either Linux or OS X. In fact, I booted into XP only to check how my website looks in Internet Explorer. Thomas

Yes a G4 power book. AFAIK, OS X runs only on computers made by Apple.

Yes, the pentium architecture is completely different which is what I knew too. I had an epileptic attack when you bluntly stated 'notebook' I thought I am living under a rock and the world has changed since I wrongly presumed that tigers run on intels. :-D

Tiger runs on new Intels also. But, not on the generic notebooks yet. It is a possibility, though. Thomas

Okay, I understand. But I never would have thought of that. What if you make a mistake removing the icons (delete one character too many or something)? Isn't there any other way of conveniently running the validator that doesn't make it part of the very thing you're validating?

I was planning to do a final test manually by entering the URL on the validation website. I am sure I can probably create another page that have a link to test each page in the website. Frankly, I did not think that was a big issue. That said, your idea of exploring the possibility of setting up an automated test outside the pages is good because a website is never finished. It is a business promotion and brand-building tool that has to be changed regularly to reflect the changes in business etc. Thomas

But the specs[^] still says you need a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 to have it installed! If it can run on an intel, I would love to try it (if they have a trial I mean.. I shall buy if I like it..) and buy one to run on my intel machine. Any ideas?

No. I think I was not clear. It runs only on Apple machines with Intel processors. Apple now has the concept of universal binary, where you can compile an OS X application to run on OS X either on Intel or Power PC. The new Apple machines have Intel Core Duo processors, and can run Windows also. They could run Linux for a long time now. Thomas

It is true everywhere else in the world, why would China be an exception?

Actually, no, many countries respect copyright laws and do not permit forgeries to be sold in public. I am not talking about pirating, but flat out forgeries where the media appears to be a legal version.

In China, most people use Windows operating system. Only some develpers use Unix or Linux. Of course, some fans of linux use it too. So my question is that: do you use Windows or Unix/Linux? 我的英语不足以表达出来，受打击了。:(( -- modified at 21:27 Wednesday 7th March, 2007:((:((:((

Windows of course. Been using Win3.0, Win3.1, Win3.11, NT3.5, NT3.51 NT4.0, Win2k, WinXP, WinVista and I can't see the trend changing. Notice I skipped Win95/WinME as never ever used them, I opted for NT3.51+Shell a far more stable environment at the time.
.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.
