I tried to access your mage Gry. but I got a "document contains no data error"


I as well have looked through the new Firebird site.  Yes I agree it isn't 
the best... but it could be much worse.  Some of the world is still 
functioning on a purely textual level.  I am having relatively good access 
speed through my dial up slip account, but I can understand why others might 
not be doing as well.

I at least find the information more charming than the page format... but it 
does do the job...

I definitaley agree.. I got tired of seeing the "firebird" logo".  
I would be more interested in seeing pics of the covers of books and CD's.
Well.. That's just me.

They've tried to make it as "menu" like as possible.. .It reminds me of 
those computer search tools you find in music stores for looking up album titles
(the one I'm thinking of is in Borders Books [in Fort Worth, TX.]).  If they 
used that type of software as a design, its easy to see how they made their 
Web page so difficulte to manage.

I agree... 
Lets see if we can find an address to mail to and let them know how annoying 
the thing can be..   (constructive critism)

I truly would love to see the Larry Dixon art up and running soon.
