However, some possible problem areas may be line wrap or the spaces in
the file names, represented as "%20"'s in the url.

Apart from which it looks ugly.

The only time I want to see %nn's in a URL is when they are part of a
Google search term (or similar). They really don't belong in a fixed
link. I'm not overly keen on Capital Letters in URL's either.

That was another lesson learned for me. Initially, running a www server
on a
Windows NT-based machine, I had a good mixture of lower and upper case
letters, made the names much more readable, and it was case insensitive,
making it tolerant to differing inputs. Seemed like a good idea.

However, moving the site to a Linux-based machine, it became apparrent
that
that was a stupid thing to do, as the Linux server was case sensitive and
the
Microshaft FrontPage software wasn't quite so religious about preserving
case
during uploads. Thus, an operationg that was a pain in the butt became a
royal pain in the butt. So I try and do everything in lower case now.

Mixed case shouldn't be a problem here, however. But the conversation
does
bring back some painful memories.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I know there are a lot of Linux based sites
but I never knew why so many sites still used the underline and small
letters throughout their sites. I will rethink the way I put together links
since I don't have enough to worry about yet it would not be a big deal to
change them. I understand Linux has a lot of advantages as far as websites
go.

is.

Heh heh. A month ago, Mrs Beady, Beady One and myself did The Magic

Medieval Times the second. The third day we did KSC.

We never bothered with Mouseland. We went directly to KSC and stayed
there for days. This was back when we worked at Dryden and could use
our badges to get inside, though.

No prob. Just goes to show that useful information may be found in almost
any thread - even this one. ;-)

Sure, thats possible/likely. My point was that the VAB was not even
close to relevent to any AS-204 issues, as that was six years
earlier.

I did the Disney thing last fall with my family. Didn't get to KSC(
bummer) but I did get to see Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight aviation
museum in nearby Kissimee. If you're into restored WW2 a/c, you won't
be disappointed. While we were there a Grumman F4F Wildcat landed on
the grass field and taxied right by us. The prop wash blew my hat off!
They also have a nice eatin' place there too!
