| Page: Interactive Nirvana Concert Chronology |
| Reviewer: Robert Brooks |
| Date: May 21, 1999 |
Introduction
Remember the site, The Happening? One of the things that made the site what it was is that it had the "Interactive Nirvana Concert Chronology" (INCC). When the author of the site decided to call it quits, he decided to lend away some of the site's material.

So did Internet Explorer really download the page that fast? Yes, but you have to keep in mind that I viewed this page in the browser once before I did the initial testing. To say the least, it would have probably been in the lower to the mid - 20s. The only reason why I can think that the page took so long to download was because of the Xoom frame located at the top of the page. If it was not there, I believe the page could have downloaded anywhere below 20 seconds.
The layout on this page is simply simple, but since the page (at the time of the review) is a stand-alone page, with no other features than the ones I will be reviewing, I will list my suggestions after I describe the layout.
The layout on the page has links and a sentence to give it a description. Besides the background and the picture to the right, that is really all that the page has. One thing the site want to do to look better is to use tables and make the text a tad bit smaller. Now, I can not make the site move to another server (all "free" servers have ads at one point or another), but if it doesn't like the frames at the top of the page, it has the choice. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the layout because of its simplicity, and if it wants to change it a little bit, I hope the simplicity still lies there.
