Thanks for the comments, Terry. As for the audience I've targeted and their ability
to download the latest versions of NC and IE, I usually provide detailed instructions
on how to do so via email. I also detail hardware requirements, as well as settings.
Yes, I do run into those who are running older browsers and less capable machines, and
usually end up apologizing for the lack of html that doesn't suit their needs. Maybe
I should try to comment out the scripting similar to the way frames are handled when
using <noframes>.

Good point. I used the refresh tags in an earlier site I had up. Seemed to work well
if I kept throughput in mind.

Yep, the text links will look different if viewers have their browsers set to
underline and/or are using default colors. Guess buttons would make better sense, and
would probably do a better job if I added "onMouseOver" scripting.

No problem with bruised or bloodied egos at this end. But constructive criticism
definitely beats the heck out of getting a more "Jungian" response <g>.
Btw, liked your site. Well done, great layout and graphics. Makes me want to go back
for more }:^)
