Craig O'D's Cheap
Pages ... celebrating more than a decade of virtuality!
What are the Cheap Pages? This is The Cheap Page. A pre-blog blog. From the Cheap Page hang other Cheap Pages. They link to other stuff all over the place. They are: Very elementary HTML, first
created with a Great Lost WYSIWYG Application, "Claris Home Page."
Begun in 1998 and 1999. ... about inexpensive pastimes. ... full of lists. Designed to load fast in the dial-up low-bandwidth days. Lots of DIY, especially boats and the cheapest of sailing boats: scows, canoes and sharpies. E-Books and links to E-Books, most of which I published online long before anyone else was doing much of this. The pace of E-Book preparation has slowed, but changes and improvements will slowly begin again. Please note that some of the information, such as the Bolger Boat Honor Roll, is here as history only -- so various e-mail addresses or external links may be broken. I'll flag the "historical interest" items. The cause of Bolger Boats, Sailing Canoes, and Junk Rigs (for example) are now served by multiple Web authors and discussion lists. The various Cheap Pages have been updated as far as possible to add links to these resources. -- Craig O'Donnell, Dec. 2009 |
