 while having HTML skills, and CSS seems easy enough, the aspects
 of more complex CGI scripts and advanced functionality seem to me
 like they will become either easier or harder to implement. will
 there ever be a day when someone, novice-intermediate, will be able
 to get a web database system up and running without programming
 skill?. i ask because a simple browser detector to serve multiple
 CSS pages, is, for a small site more than just HTML/CSS and a GUI
 authoring program. the idea of 'classes' of websites comes to mind,
 such as classes of drivers licenses. will there always be a full
 spectrum of sites. will they all raise in complexity. or will the
 low end go under at some point. and its content. i'm wondering...
 brian
