To Microsoft's credit

Thoughts by John (Article #266)

I was discussing a problem in Windows with someone online, and the conversation turned to the fact that the type of problem -- though not this particular manifestation -- stretched all the way back to Windows 3.0, the first usable desktop computer with multitasking.

So, for grins I looked on MS's support website for the fix. And sure enough, right there was an EXE waiting to be downloaded for Windows 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11 for Workgroups.

Now, I understand that this is no longer an officially supported fix. But, it's still exceedingly hip of MS to have it out there. Especially for an OS that hasn't been since 1995. Last updates were issued in 2003.

Welcome!

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,
John Crawford
