[Hudlug] created a web page

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

I forgot something in my replies to this message.
I look forward to doing some programming in Linux.
I tried VB and it was Terrible.
I kind of did it as a unit at Dewsbury College.
Charlie my Learning Assistant and me found we had to get the exact 
layout otherwise it refused to accept an instruction ie you had to get 
right the correct spacing for a condition and laying out the screen 
before you do your code is a pain.
