FYI, http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/video-games/ 
2006top100games.htm does not work with Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)  
on Mac, but does work with Camino Version 2006091101 (1.0.3).  Under  
Safari, the points appear on one horizontal row next to "Rating" and  
no grid appears, and the y axis numbers do not appear correctly.   
Looks great on Camino though.
