That'll only work if the IP isn't used as a host for many different websites, that are only distinguished by the hostname in your connection attempt (named-based virtual hosting). In your case, it does appear to work. So either you've got your very own IP (most likely), or yours is the default for a virtual host carrying many (very unlikely). > The result of her effort is at http://finepianoservices.com/index.html > should you be interested.

If you run your own, it should go directly to the authoritative source, and get the most current address (as long as whatever's it's currently been cached for it hasn't yet expired). It's working here. I saw a few nifty animations. I got a bit a surprise by one link opening a new browser (the restoration gallery), which probably not a good idea for a framed site (even a psuedo framed site). That's probably as far as I should go critiquing something, I could probably pick any site to death. But, otherwise, interesting to look at. It's been years since I played the piano, it hurts the fingers too much. These days I stick to playing the organ, the keyboard requires less effort to play, it's much easier on the joints. And I can maintain the electronics, myself (up to a point). ;-) -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
