Re: Would you take a complimentary course on HTML from a company whose website looked like this?

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that's a great point Kelly. I think I'm among a lot of iSeries folks
that think in terms of lists. That's our background. And I know when I've
designed web sites, it looks like a list of 'things' cause that's the way I
think. I can produce some really nice ETL code for loading to web sites, and
I can write some really good code to process orders from web sites, but the
whole visual thing isn't me.
