Hi all...

I'm not sure if you've discovered it yet but CSuite has a 'low-tech'
counter located at /cgi-bin/urlstats

Urlstats will return hits (1) yesterday (2)this month (to yesterday) and
(3) last month. It could be easily modified to track longer periods...

Although it lacks the flash of a counter that tracks hits to this minute
it just occured to me that it could easily be customized to display a
sponsors message... A very marketable spot I'd think...
