I'm not so sure about that......

When I have a client using AOL and tell them to look at the changes/updates
I made for them, sometimes they call back saying "nothing is different"!

At this point I tell them to key in:
www.yourcompany.com/index.html?123 (or any combination after the question
mark)
instead of
www.yourcompany.com (which of course defaults to index.html)

And *poof* the changes are there!  I'm told that the "?" tells the ISP it's
a dynamically generated page, and must, therefore, go get it from the
server.

Works every time, which is unfortunately too often!
