"What do you mean "the screen flickers"? Do you mean you get a "flash"
of unstyled content, or something else?"

Looks like it happens because the browser renders overlapping layers, first in 
dark color
and then in bright color, (maybe because width or height are not declared 
somewhere, 
or because of rendering priorities, etc...)

This flickering exists also in www.freedos.org, exactly the same.
If you switch between the top menu items quickly then the screen is flickering. 
(on my i3 PC).
It's not so bad and it doesn't happen each time, but it looks like some conflict
in the css file that can be solved somehow.

Thank you,

I know about the vertical spacing issue. I need to do some tweaks to
the layout/design but I figured I'd wait to get usability test results
before I did anything there. So yes, that one is on my list too.

I also saw Tom's comments and I'll make a few minor changes to the
content. I met with a student group yesterday, and shared an email
update with the other groups too, and let them know I'm making a minor
tweak to content based on freedos-devel feedback. Sounds like the
timing is okay for them (they are designing Personas and Use Scenarios
now) but I'll need to "lock in" the website very soon. But I
definitely want to make sure we advertise the included dev tools
(compilers) on the "programming" page.
