That's funny TheBrownRecluse...people in the 80s where wondering what computers would be good for...there's always a reason but anyways DS, I've tried writing something for you below but when I tried it on my server it fricken went nuts and refreshed in a loop indefinitely...

This could be a starter for you...combined with your meta refresh tag the only thing is with this it would reload the page and the meta tag would refresh the page again thus refreshing it twice an our within seconds...I'm thinking PHP might help you...

<script>
<!--

setTimeout("SetPgColor()", 60000);
window.location.replace("http://www.yoursite.com")

// -->
</script>

There is something I found for you here that may help you on your way....javascript page refresh [Archive] - CodingForums.com
