This page has been enhanced for IBM's Web Explorer For OS/2. (animation by Carsten Whimster) This is a subtle hint that you really might want to try OS/2. Check out the Team OS/2 Homepage for more information. The page background is a very bleached version of one of the bitmaps included with Object Desktop for OS/2, a fantastic product from Stardock Systems, Inc.

Watch now as I violate one of Microsoft's trademarks: 29' 2.5"

Yes, that's right, Microsoft has trademarked the length 29' 2.5". It's right there in black and white at the bottom of page 187 of the December 1997 Wired, in the fine print of the Internet Explorer ad.

I think I'll do it again just for fun: 29' 2.5".

Come and get me.

For some reason, the Encylopaedia Britannica's Internet Guide has recommended my page. I guess it's for the R1 paper, but I don't really know.

Past this point, this page has been unenhanced for MS Internet Explorer. Get a real browser from a less evil company, folks. Preferably one that doesn't add its own proprietary extensions to HTML.

Of course, Netscape had to follow MSIE. So if you're reading this in Netscape 3.0 or higher on a platform with the WingDings font installed, it'll turn into gibberish too. Oh well. Netscape is also evil, though less so than MS.

My recommendation for a browser is Lynx. Download the pictures you care about seeing separately and look at them that way. You'll find it's much faster.

The Galileo Project was what I worked on my senior year at Rice. It's a hypertext textbook for a course on Galileo and his world taught by Professor Albert Van Helden.
