It seems fine so far. I've tested mine on IE 4+, Netscape 4.07+, Opera 6, and Konquerer (whatever version ships with RedHat 7.2). I haven't run into any trouble yet, so If you're not worried about a bit more hassle installing, and *absolute* downward browser compatibility, they seem to look ok. Although, as I said earlier, I've only had mine for about a week or so. -Mark
