don't hold back now - tell us what you really think.

FWIW - I looked at the site on my Windows system.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 looked pretty much the same as on Fedora Firefox

Internet Explorer 7 it looked much better...but the left column type was
larger than on Firefox.

Thus the web designer might need to tweak for other browsers or other
browser users need to know about <Control><Numeric keypad + > switch to
enlarge the type
