I agree with Murray. I'm sure the new design can be improved upon some more, but the previous web pages had gotten to the point that they actively annoyed me. Too large, too much info crammed into some of the pages. I have been saving URL's directly to some inner web pages, for no other reason than to avoid bringing up the main web page. And once you're AVOIDING the web page, then it doesn't much matter how much info was crammed into it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
