15 years back when I was in my highschool I was taught HTML. I created a 3x3 table of images with border without using any CSS while other kids were looking around confused what to do. Opened the same in IE and felt I was a professional web developer. Simpler times!

I remember building commercial websites with tables for layout, and some quite complex layouts too. I was a master of table layout. Then it all got serious, so I got serious too. The table skills have been very useful for html emails though thanks to fucking outlook.
