One of my first personal website designs used frames. I got about two or three months into the build and just said, "nope!" Then it was tables. Inside tables. Inside tables. With spacer gifs. And a little DHTML magic for rollover images.

Gareth, this was a very natural progression in #UI via HTML during that time. They all evolved better practices in the end but IMO for DHTML, which in hindsight is one of the foreshadwings of abstract vs. semantic markup and open, accessible web practices. But oh, we learned! :)
