Re: FLASH: User System Information Database . . .

[Byron Canfield]

I concur. Where I have seen the system information deployed in a useful manner

is on FlashPad (<http:www.flashernet.com>http:www.flashernet.com). There,

whenever a person posts a response, particularly useful when done immediately

after testing somebody's URL, the form posting includes a Javascript

process of

polling the poster's system information, which is then displayed beside the

post. Though this doesn't accommodate those who might use a second system

sided

by side with the main one, for any testing, still, for most, it serves as an

up-to-date source of system information.


Unfortunately, of course, that doesn't work with a mail list.
