Ayyrick Gold it is.

A lot of people criticize me because I don't have maps and a fancy web site. They say it is overly simplistic. But the page can be viewed in any browser back to nutscrape 3.0 or even lynx, and it does not have frames or much javascript. Completely sans java. The time and date is the only javascript module on the page. Gifs are simple. Fast loading. Short and to the point. Also it is basic html and fits on any page width. The page links won't work if the page fits the whole page on the user's screen. that is the only bug but that is a feature of html not a design flaw.

I find fancy company sites bug ridden, bloated, and boring. They do not fit page width on any browser, crash some browsers, some features do not work, and they take all day to load on a 28.8 modem. If you find something interesting on these fancy .asp server pages with frames, you cannot bookmark it. A smarmy look is not functionality.

I admit I could add all kinds of info, great pictures, maps, maybe have a back-end SQL database and make the site searchable but that is for a later date when money is raised past a certain point. I am not advertising claims for sale. Just promoting a company idea.

I want to keep my eye on the ball.
