Amen to that. I used to use a bank whose website was compatible with lynx. No pictures were displayed, of course, and frames if you wanted them had to be followed as if they were a link (I don't think I ever had to), but SSL works with lynx so you could access https: links to see encrypted information, and it was lightning fast. No idea if that's still true; the banking aspect became as bad as with all the other banks. But I loved the lack of any 'visitor experience', which is not why you access a bank.
Don't worry! :-) - It was successfully done using CSS, it works in recent browsers, only a small percentage of users now don't see them, and they simply get square corners!
We find it amusing that site owner, who was so desperate for them, is the only individual we know does not see them.
Does that dynamically scale? A common rendering problem is fixed sized background colour blocks that don't follow the space required by the text. Remember text size can be set by the user. I set a minimum font size so I don't need a microscope on some sites...
17,000 is remarkably low. Low enough in fact to make me suspect a mistype.
I put over 100,000 miles on my last-but-one car with no problems at all. This of course proves nothing. The fact that they (Primera) became a common choice for minicabs might.
I only do 7K/year, but buy older cars - one BX retired at 220K, the other at 170K but 18yo, and the Xantia is currently at 170K. One diesel lift pump failure in the Xantia, one clutch cable on the first BX are the ones which have stopped it dead, and I'd have probably driven the BX home if it was me in the car. Two alternators on the second BX (though the second one was from the first, so not entirely surprising) meant a certain amount of faff with charging, but no journeys failed.
Other friends ZXs have gone similar distances - again, both bought old. So I think Citroens are great - but I'd not necessarily buy a new one. Instead, get somebody else to filter out the ones with iffy electrics - if it's made it to a certain age and is still going it's probably going to last a while.
And I still don't know what I'd replace the Xantia with. The C5s are even more electronic and don't have the full hydraulics (brakes, suspension, steering all in the same circuit).
I have contacts with a guy in the USA who was upset when his engine blew. At 471,000. That's the trouble with these highly stressed sports car engines.
He still has the car, and it's topped the half million. I don't think I've driven that many miles, never mind done them in one car.
