I just wish it were so simple :-(  

Not all users are able to upgrade so easily.  My surfboard is a unix 
workstation lunchtime/after hours at work, with Netscape 1.1.  Internet 
Explorer is not an option for unix.  The company has to *pay* for an 
upgrade to Netscape 3, and is dragging its feet on this one.  

Many web sites have a 'no-frames' option accessed via a (non-frames) 
home page.  I don't know how much effort it is to do this, but I for 
one appreciate it.  

Frames-only sites are now closed off to everyone here.  We can't even 
get the email addresses to tell them.
