Nice work and all that good stuff but there is a major problem with the music on/off.
When turned off, it only stays off for THAT page and comes right back on for the next one or on a refresh. That is VERY bad. I personally have a problem with sites that start off with sound, even soft sound such as this. Consider the people viewing the site. Where are they? Is it at home, work, library? What is the effect when sounds suddenly start emanating from the PC? Just my 2 cents. Jim Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't be afraid to try something new. An amateur built the ark.
