Hey! What's going on?

Vineyard.NET is slowly transitioning towards a more standards compliant website that separates the look and feel of the site from the content.

This is done using a technology called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Unfortunately, support for CSS in older browsers (specifically, anything prior to a version 5.0) ranges from poor and incomplete to simply wrong and painful for both viewers and designers. Ultimately, there is no way to reliably design a CSS-based layout for older web browsers. Vineyard.NET will continue to ensure the overall functionality of its website for older browsers but the overall experience will be a little more spartan than before.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and invite you to consider upgrading your web browser. For what it's worth, we like Mozilla but just about any modern browser, including Internet Explorer, should suffice.

Service Pack 2 is now available to Windows XP users

Service Pack 2 is now available to Windows XP users

18, August 2004 — Service Pack 2 is now available to Windows XP users...but wait! Don't touch that dial! Microsoft has known for some time that the SP2 release was a "little buggy" - which is why there have been so many delays in releasing it. It's more than patching a few problems - it's like a full system upgrade - affecting many, many different elements inside your computer.

As it turns out, this first release of the new service pack appears to break more things than it fixes. In a round-about way, even Microsoft is making tools available to fix some of the things that will not work on your computer after the "upgrade" to SP2. I would suggest that you not rush to install this program until there are some assurances that it will work.
