Old and new have a serious problem in common - those using high resolution
laptops, such as 1680x1050 or 1920x1200, regardless whether Mac or doz or
Linux, will find it difficult to determine that those thumbnail captions are
actually text. I have to use 3 zoom levels to get the size up almost to a
comfortable reading level, and my screen is larger and resolution lower than
those laptops. Those using IE<v7 will be unable to do the same.

The thumbnails themselves for such users are much too small to generate any
serious interest in any purchase, since clicking on them just generates more
of the same.

You can and should use CSS to size those images and their captions, so that
it doesn't matter what resolution or screen size its visitors are using, and
get big enough images and text to possibly generate results. Start with a
look at http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=EmVsPercentWidths
