MillionDollarWebTV.com Is Going HDTV

June, one of my partners in charge of marketing, showed the rest of us ignoramuses the latest statistics about high definition tv (yes, HDTV) and computer monitor sales some three months (eons?) ago. She was intoning, with a missionary's zeal:

"Digital convergence is now combining the functions of HDTV and computer monitors into one device, in the 16:9 screen dimensional ratio. Sales of these HDTV monitors are climbing fast, making the single function computer monitor obsolete. Here, watch what Robin Heron and Patrick Norton of Digital Life TV, affectionately known in geekdom as DL.TV have to say about everything HDTV:





So. What are YOU going to do about it???" she demanded to know.

We squirmed. (Not really.) "Good question. What do YOU propose we do about it???????" Million Dollar Web TV will be operational for 10+ years. What are we to do about it? We could / should / might / may:

1. Change the home station page ad grid layout to 1250 x 800 pixels.
2. Redesign the other pages to conform to this ratio.

So we have. Our developers outdid themselves - all in midstream of building the site. They probably - surely? - call me a slave driver. If that's what it takes… I can handle that… especially from thousands of miles away….
