As I understand it the new browsers get the brand-new homepage... some of 
the first/second generation browsers apparently have problems with the 
new page(s... is it just the new homepage or all the shtml pages????) and 
should get an older version...

Andrew is keen on changing the existing homepage... removing the subject 
links and substituting links to the new alphabetical and subject 
listings. If some browsers are having problems with the new homepage I 
would expect them to have similar trouble with the new alpha/subject 
pages but maybe I'm missing something...

I definitely would like to keep the old homepage for our dial-up text 
users until we can determine what _they_ would like done with the 
homepage... this may mean keeping three homepages alive for awhile or 
maybe simply leaving the current homepage alone and feeding the new 
homepage to browsers that can handle it...

I've ccreated a couple of new Lynx shortcuts that point to the new 
alpha/subject pages and I've got a notice up in the motd refering people 
to these pages and asking for any comments to be sent to editors...
