Yes, I feel the same way. Anything with the term "java" I try to stay far away
from . More or less I am trying to stay away from anything that is not
standard between Mozilla and Exploder, as I test with both. But when push came
to shove, I dove into it. If anything I am staying away from DOM usage, and
sticking to core functions.

Style sheets are a pain. But someday I hope that everyone can get along and
stick to one standard of style sheets. On the other hand, pigs might grow
wings and fly.

I will be the first to admit, they are flimsy. But I was kind of in a pickle.
I actually built the sled and the two engines separetly and came to the
situation of how in the heck am I going to get the look I want in connecting
them togethor without making it look to heavy. If I would have had 8 of those
tilted wings I would have used them by doubling them up. But alas, only 4 were
found in my inventory, so I settled on this. Its not a model you would have
your kids play with. I am pretty happy with it nonetheless. The power plant
could have been much better, I agree, and the engines on a little tighter too,
but hey, were a new company :-) and engineering mistakes do happen.

Gawd .. sorry for the insult by spelling your name wrong. Must have been
seeing things a little fuzzy last night (late) while I reentered in the links
information. The changes have been made. As for the remaining spelling
errors, I agree, there are quite a few. That falls into the "polish it up"
phase. But none the less, when told, I will get them cleaned up asap.
And don't pay any attention to the order .. they are put in as I found them.
This in due time will include a randomizing algorithm so that no one is first,
no one is last. (again, more polish it up stuff)
