!i *know* you didn't ask this, but hope you do not send your CD
!resume to someone like me... an autorun CD that launches one of
!my 12 browsers, and then resizes it for me, will result in an instant
!eject and relegation to the AOL coaster pile...

I appreciate your position on this matter, and I would probably do the same.
However the companies that these will be going to are mostly computer
illiterate.
They will appreciate the autorun. And these are the types of companies that
I am targeting.

!that being said, are you targetting *only* win machines, *only*
!macs, both, something else?  in general, you'll find there is no
!good answer to this anyway... also, your browser resizing will have
!to happen via JS...

This is targeted to "ONLY" Windows 9x machines.
Also these people have never even heard of Netscape. So IE is the only
browser that I am concerned with.

One thing I didn't consider though is some of them may be using AOL.
Would I need to specify something to avoid AOL from opening, dialing, etc..
or will it default to IE. (there is no online content or links everything is
run from the cd)

Thanks
Brad
