I'll be curious to see what you end up doing. I'm sure the fallen off keys thing is something im going to have to just see before I really get it. Thanks for the compliment.

I was disappointed to learn, however, that if you registered an account after the announcement date you could not claim a unque progile address.

A quick rough highly inaccurate extrapolation, assuming a 10% increase each year, would put you at about 79,431,204 hits. You could have had 80 million hits Jim! I loved those hit counters. With all the bots and people refreshing because they were on 56k (or 33.6 or 28k) modems and thought the page froze you could quickly and easily get thousands upon thousands of hits. LOL.

Just toying around I put a counter on it and forgot about it for a year. I had links to video clips, audio files and pictures. But they I got bored. I started working at a computer company and someone asked me about websites so I pointed them to that site, 2 years later... Counter: <b>5,000,000 + hits...</b> I wish I knew then what I knew now, what is that they say <blockquote>"Hindsight is always 20/20"</blockquote> My first site was about Michael Jordan in ’95.

Still, I should've kept them around in some aspect. 15 year old domain name...wow would that have some authority now!

You clearly know what you're talking about in that aspect! Think what I'll end up doing is integrating the navigation bar into the photo, right below the keyboard. Maybe make it look like fallen off keys (though don't want it to look too much like the background and confuse people...). Well, I do like the photos on your site.

But if I had done that it would have been with fly fishing, and not something that I would have wanted to market myself in nowadays.
