Still not convinced that we're doomed to Ultimate Evil in Web page design? Consider these facts:
There's actually such a thing as an animated "under construction" sign for Java browsers. This has got to be a sign of the Apocalypse.
Meanwhile, some dickweed over in the "market share protection" department over at MicroSloth has come up with the clever idea of writing Web content in Visual Basic. Nice multiplatform language, that. Actually, this one may be a win, because the resulting virus load may finally kill Windows.
Speaking of "under construction", have you noticed that most of the time, you find out a page is "under construction" by following a link, waiting for a connection, and then finding out the page you're trying to reach hasn't been written? Why? Because the Web developer is too lazy to edit a link when the page really shows up, and too stupid to figure out how to automate it. How bloody rude can you get?
