No, but the Cornhusker's flag is!

What is a Cornhusker flag and why is it mandatory?

How did you manage traction with the trike on the snow and ice. That's one
down side I hadn't thought of when I got my trike. Poor traction when
climbing slippery or loose surfaces.

I can't tell for sure (from the pics) what flags Harry is flying, but I can
cetainly tell you, that those who graduate from the University of NE at
Lincoln, are passionate about their football team.

They usta be pretty good, but I fear, time has passed them by. I guess their
marketing dept did not get the memo.

I think the guy in the following pic might be Harry, but this is absolutely
unconfirmed:

I have just noticed, the UNL home page rotates between five different
pictures (through clever modern website programming). The one I was
referring to, is Jake. It was a *joke*. Harry is obviously much older than
Jake. But I thought they both symbolize the cornhusker nature of the great
state of NE...whatever that means.

I apologize for the confusion.

Yeah, your pic is 'current student' Jake...absolutely NOT Harry.

Here is 'Harry and the Rig', in a summer pic:

Hopefully this confusion, which I have created, it clarified.

Got it. That sort of asinine 'enhancement' is probably why my Netscape
crashed.

With no further updates planned for Netscape, I switched to Firefox,
which of course as a Mozilla product is very similar. So far, less
crashes. Firefox can even be installed without rebooting.

I agree, Firefox is a very good alternative browser. IMO, time has passed
Netscape by. Like dbase and Lotus 123.

Firefox does not support ActiveX. This can be both good and bad, depending
on what websites you need to browse to.

The regular Mozilla suite has been renamed "Seamonkey" and is an even
better drop in replacement for Netscape:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

It's basically what Netscape was built on the last few years. A lotta
Firefox under the hood no doubt.

I have further noticed, it is not only five different pics. Who knows how
many. I don't see Jake at all now! I am in the IT business, and I just can't
keep up with web site programming techniques.

I had to reload the page several time to find Jake.

=v= The whole point of ActiveX is to ruin browser-independency,
so "good and bad" are quite out of the picture.

If only this had become a trailer/cargo bike conversation,
instead of another knee-reflex ideologically-specific
recumbent one.

Oh, well. Maybe next time.

I'm off to obtain some take-away Chinese food.
