I may have spoken too soon...

This editor may not be anywhere near as bad as I thought. I may simply be ignorant of the properties of the XML used in creating the pages resulting from it. For example, if I use the LINK tag (found on Fenchurch's "The Big Secrets..." page, I may get links which display properly when parsed. Let's take the Elvis link below, which points out in exactly which ways Elvis is like Jesus. If my theory is correct, not only will the link now display properly, but it will also be referenced in the margin under "referenced links"!
Let's give it a shot, and see what happens, shall we?

M.S. Windows 98- crash.crash.crash...
Posted Aug 20, 1999
Yes, I've suffered a great systems crash, down here on the farm- and I blame windows 98! It just can't handle all the hoops I put it through. The only reason I run 9X at all is because my SCANNER won't work with NT!
I actually like NT. It's relatively stable, and handles all the stuff I throw at it rather well, and when a program DOES crash, it rarely brings down the entire system (unlike windows 9x, which will crash at the drop of a hat). It's not as stable as linux or solaris (which I also run), but for my multimedia stuff, it can't be beat- at the nonce.
I'm currently getting my system put back together (software-wise, that is) and will probably be a week doing it. What irks me is the fact that I lost a lot of original work (a song I'd been working on for a week, samples I'd made, etc.). This sucks.
I blame IOMEGA for this! I have one of their crappy zip drives which developed the "click of death" a mere few months after I bought it! I have one of their crappy jaz drives which did the same (though IOMEGA swears that they don't get the "click of death"- the fact remains that this one DID! I certainly didn't do anything to the silly piece of crap!). IOMEGA SUCKS! Next time, I buy a superdisk!
So, IOMEGA has screwed me for several hundreds of dollars- and refuses to honor it's warranty, giving me the run-around every time I called their tech-support/returns office. The bastards!
I HATE IOMEGA!
