Maybe a bit too sensitive. I mean, I am bilingual : ) I prefer macs 
over PC (I have a Ti!), but some stuff just won't run on a mac (Front 
Page, Access needs a PC or Virtual PC - VERY SLOW!).

try:

http://www.ururk.com/portfolio/index.html

The index page should automatically come up.

It should load in Safari (it loads for me) v60, Camino .7, Chimera .7, 
Netscape 7, IE 5.2.2. Also tested in OS 9. I have not tried Safari v64 
or v62.

On the PC front, IE 5, Netscape 4.7 (not completely - no Flash 6 
support), Netscape 6 or the latest version for the PC (I have no clue!).

Not yet - I am going to add a database connection through MS Access in 
the near future. Perhaps I should put that on the pages that are 
created in Front Page. (actually, so far, the pages that will 
eventually support a form have been created 100% on a mac, in 
Dreamweaver MX - I will open those pages up, and add the database 
connection in Front Page).

Or I could add an addendum.


I just though, most sites say, "Made with a Mac", or "Made with a PC". 
I though it was kinda funny to say, "Mostly made with a mac". Perhaps 
something like, "Mostly made with a mac because MS didn't port MS 
Access over to the Mac Platform". Or, "Made with a mac, including Front 
Page and Access in Virtual PC 6.0"

I don't know CGI, perl, java, or ODBC, so I really need an easy and 
readymade solution for this type of thing.



Anyways, this is getting a bit off topic. As a side note, my Portfolio 
does have a place for "stuff", and one of the subsections will include 
something mac/TiBook related. Definitely iPod related.
