      Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

      Story time: In the super old days, I want to say 1996? 1997? I wrote a four or five line HTML that would split the screen into two horizontal frames, then split those each into vertical frames, then those horizontal – ad infinitum.

      I don’t think there were any browsers that didn’t fail that test. I’m sure I only checked IE3 or IE4 and Netscape. One of them locked the computer up and had to be killed via “close program.” The other one locked the machine up and it became completely unresponsive, needing to be hard booted.
