Like me, who mostly uses browsers one step behind the times to keep from
excluding audiences without knowing it <g>. I've got some version 4
browsers loaded and ready, but surf with the lesser browsers mostly.

Hope academicians have gotten better at downloading newer versions of
software than the general run of people. I honestly don't know whether
or not this is the case.

Well, the first page is a splash page, and IMHO if you really feel the
need to have a splash page before content, I'm personally a fan of
putting a refresh= meta tag for those who might not be inclined to
scroll (if less than 800x600) and/or click.
The breakdown link is quite evident in NS version 3 - it's underlined
and a different color, which is quite intuitive IMO ;-> We've had many
discussions of text links that aren't, and whether or not that's
sufficiently intuitive, but that's for the archives.

Hope you don't mind that around here, thoughts are usually constructive
but not necessarily complementary. But they ARE complimentary <vbg>.
But several of my sites are better because of having asked or having
them looked at from my sig files (note: thanks again, Jack!) - even if
my ego is bruised and bloody at times.
