The top nav bar illustrates exactly the problem I noted a couple of days 
ago: the bgcolor and the graphic color are set to the exact same value 
(#003399), but they are visibly different on my machine.  The color in the 
graphic is distinctly lighter.

This graphic should also not be a JPEG, which is not at all well-suited to 
solid blocks of color with text on top.  For one thing, it makes for a 
*bigger* file than an equivalent GIF, and it also produces unpleasant 
"spattering" in the areas around the text.  I would clean up the spattering, 
resave the image as a GIF, and also copy a square of blue from the 
graphic and save it as your background image for that frame.

Also, the H & W attributes for the counter are set incorrectly, so that the 
graphic is quite distorted.

Finally, I agree with Kathy's comment that a "text-only" version of a page 
should surely not be framed or have graphics in it.  Especially not 
imagemap-navigation graphics.

Hope I'm not sounding too harsh, George old pal.  I'm a tough critic :)
