1. geocities

i've noticed a lot of ppl on this list, and a lot of ppl who contribute
useful euphoria stuff are using geocities to host their www site

fortunately for me i no longer have this problem, but a lot of the
"free" www hosting sites aren't so free any more, making you put up
banners or creating popup window which annoy the hell out of everybody

so basically, everyone on geocities or tripod, please move to xoom
(http://xoom.com) where not only do you avoid popup windows and banners,
but you get a lotal of 5MB www space.  popup windows get very annoying

Good point. Despite the pop-ups, Geocities is by far the fastest and most
stable of free home page sites as far as I have seen. Maybe you should just
have the page itself on another server, with the rest of the files at
Geocities (like I did with my AngelFire homepage)

I think the pop up's are annoying too. I can live with banners,
since I mainly keep it on the index page and it isn't hard
to scroll past. There are merits and demerits, I'm sure,
to any kind of 'free' service. I do like the browser based file tools
they have set up, and it's very low maintenance on my part,
but it's ok as a test site.

 I do have unlimited space
on the it-works domain, but have not made any publicly accesible,
mostly just run a korn shell there...

        Excuse me, but this IS the EUPHORIA mail server right? Or am I
mistaken, because I could give a shit about which bloody server you all
use. No I didn't have a bad day, it is just that I don't have time to
read what is in essence spam mail...
