Updated two pages with DTDs reflecting adherence to HTML 4.01 which allows percentage values for table cell widths. Except for this pedantry, the only thing worth noting is the summary below, somewhat of a eulogy.

I am very much a Mac user now, easing into the new platform beginning in 1999, when I finally had enough of the TT's limited speed -- notably for image-editing and the web -- and realized that faster TOS computers were not coming to North America. At this time Apple had drastically reduced prices to clear out old stock, so I bought a factory refurbished PowerMac 6500: 300MHz, 64MB, SCSI, Zip, all in a nice tower.

Initially dependent on both machines, I have reached the point where Calamus is the only program yet to be replaced on the Mac. (Quark is too expensive and there is so much time invested in Calamus.) It was not so much finding equivalent software on the Mac, but the time it took to feel comfortable with both the OS and the applications themselves. Because of these factors, the site has become somewhat retro for me, almost nostalgic, no longer a true reflection of my computer time.

With the TT being used as a Calamus workstation, the site's subtitle is still applicable. However, no further updates are planned. Looking back I am most proud that TOS software was used, something that can not be said for the majority of Atari sites today, and that people continue to visit (or stumble upon) these pages in numbers I find surprising (almost 20,000 hits to date).
