Normally I would have put this in the comments, but I don't think anyone reads them but me.
The thing about Netscape is that as badly as it runs on a PC, it runs about a billion times WORSE on a Mac. Even Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, recommends IE over Netscape. Only MS-hating Mac retards refuse to use it, and there really isn't any point in bending over backwards to please retards.
I use a Mac, and have no problems whatsoever with this site in IE.

Y2K is nearly here! That means we can finally stop
guessing about what Y2K is going to do to the world's
computers - and get on with our lives. As a
precautionary measure, AllAdvantage.com is going to
disconnect its servers from the Internet and watch the
millennial date change from the sidelines.
We will be disconnected from 23:59 PST (GMT -0800) on
December 30 through 12:00 PST (GMT -0800) on January 1.
You will be UNABLE TO ACCRUE PAID SURFING TIME DURING
THIS 36-HOUR PERIOD.
We value your privacy and the security of your data, and
this temporary suspension of service is designed to
protect our community from any unanticipated effects from
the date changeover.
AllAdvantage.com wishes you, your friends, and family the
best in the coming New Year.
Best wishes,

I guess that would be the easy way out. Either that or their employees are refusing to sit in the office all night long to monitor the system. Either way it is pretty lame.

Wow what a wild ride. In the last 48 hours this site has had over 600 page views. Not because of the design. Not because of the creative writing. It was because of a link from another site regarding a damn alien dancing to a disco song. I want to be excited and proud that my site could generate that kind of traffic, but I am not. I want to be known for what I am and what I stand for, not some stupid link to another's work. Another reason you will not see nude women or nasty degrading acts around here. So once the traffic from that site settles down a bit I will feel better.
Today (er... yesterday now I guess) I worked on the TechnoSpeed site with the company's owner. We made some small progress but it was in the right direction. There is a "person" who keeps telling him that the site looks like crap and she could do it better, but either of us have yet to see her even attempt to do it. People who talk big and then fail to deliver are interesting to watch. Very interesting indeed.
One last thought and then I am going to bed. I actually got an email from a very angry person regarding my site. He stated that I was discriminating against him by not making this site compatable in NetScape on an iMac. First of all, I do not own an iMac so I have no idea if it would actually display this site wierd or not. Also, I do not have Netscape because I beleive it to be a second rate product. Razz me all you want for that comment, but a product that doesn't support even 60% of the standards that another does is not worth my time. This is my site, when you start your own site you can make it look however you want. You can make it look better in NetScape then IE if you want. But do not go postal on me because MY SITE does not look good on YOUR computer.
Anyway, enough of that. I guess what it comes down to is this: I am not going to redo my entire site because .01% of my viewers are unhappy. Call me stingy, but that is that way it goes.
