I seldom surf the web for long time now. When I do, I have JS
disabled.  For sites that don't work, fine, forget them. However, I
was surprised the last time I surfed the web as to how many sites were
now accommodating for JS being disabled. Seems corporate wants to
capture that traffic too.

Another thing, with chrome it's easy to take a peek at a
non-accommodating site by a click of button on the address bar to turn
JS on for that site only (or for all). (Not pushing chome but they
have some good features.) In the old slow web I would serf with text
browser, Bobcat? on DOS, and could push a button to bring in small gui
browser if wanted to see the site in all its glory. So, much the same.

Being retro most of web's technical offerings becomes non-applicable.
Doing business on the web, just don't. For the data junkie there's
still more available than can be consumed in several lifetimes. With
JS disabled it's one big filter to skip the dross.

I've seen much come and go (how quickly). Change is coming now,
hard and fast ready to steamroll over all resistance. The irony,
the overall aspect remains constant. I guess JJ was on to something,
Tomorrow never happens.
