[chrismitchell]

Please call me Chris,

Personally no not really, I am a Designer and I know a bit about the web and where to find things.. (thats why people should call me "Mr Find-it") I will keep searching for you mate..... Is there any other stuff?

I think that I should start up my own Search Engine on My website..... Might have to ask someone to build it!! As I cannot code very well!

Hey, thanks again Chris,

those sites are helpfull, Funny thing is... I've just come to think of this.. can I run CGI scripts on Windows ME, using Personel Web Server, together with ActivePerl. I have ppl telling me it can't be done on unless I'm using Win NT w/ IIS, and some says it CAN be done. really confusing sometimes.

well, what would you do if you were me. Running Windows ME now, USED TO BE addicted to games, getting into more serious stuffs now. Should I install Windows 2000? or just stick with Windows ME?

WOW!! Chris.. you are a hero .. but you could have told them to me first*.. I would have given you a discount :P

I've got some search engine's for sale.. wan't them?.. Price just $0 .. and I'll give you 100% discount..!


*I asked this question once!
