Cecil, It would be great if you and/or other instructors would be able to keep the content of Gene's site active. Gene, the knowledge available on your site would be a terrible loss. Please consider an offer from Cecil to or others to host your material.

These have rather massive pictures. There are some IFR WWII diagrams of training patterns otherwise the site is words only. At the time I had no idea because I didn't fit into the "Need to Know" criteria. I believe the site costs me $24.50 a month but I haven't been able to figure out how the system works. I may have paid well in advance. Can't remember. All I need to do is give Cecil the passwords and he can be off and running.

They are well-reviewed and I eventually moved my business website to host with them as well. I'm saving LOTS of money within a year (I pay about $60/ year ((prepaid))). Generous webspace, bandwidth and excellent control console for building reports, etc. It is FrontPage compatible as well. I'm not affiliated with them as anything but a customer and have just been exceptionally pleased with the up-time with their webhosting services.

They are well-reviewed and I eventually moved my business website to host with them as well. I'm saving LOTS of money within a year (I pay about $60/ year ((prepaid))). Generous Good Lord! I pay over $40 for web access (5 meg through cable) and another $40 something for web hosting, mail hosing and a bunch of other stuff. When I was on ISDN and then DSL with a dedicated IP, LAN on demand, web hosting, and *stuff* it was running over $200 a month. Many if not most web site hosting have traffic (band width limits) and charge appropriately. So with Gene's site there may be some traffic limitations. At least I'd expect to see it fairly busy. Quote: webspace, bandwidth and excellent control console for building reports, etc. It is FrontPage compatible as well. I'm not affiliated with them as Change a site that uses Front Page for editing to manual and it'll take about 10 to 20% of the total space it was taking. I still create pages manually and then use FP for editing. Then go in and find, delete the extra stuff. FP will create an extra 5 to 10 pages of definitions for every document it creates. Every time you hit a <CR) it creates a new paragraph and it formats every line which usually means up to 3 to 5 lines of formatting each line in the page. Not that I dislike FP mine you<) It does take a lot of work out of composing HTML and CGI.
