I think frames is a pretty interesting development and definitely a node 
toward graphic information designers because they give the designer much 
more control over the display of their information. While it is real 
_useless_ at the moment I like designing frames for really BIG monitors 
which give you elbow room for screen display. I would like if I could 
control BORDER = 0 along with NOSCROLL to get a more _seamless_ display.

I's just columns and rows, a hidden spreadsheet.

The noframes option also allows you to design an entire text version of 
your page/site within the frame version. Sort of the Doublemint Gum 
approach: Two, Two, Two sites in one!!
