I cant see any of your main content text on a 800x600 resolution with
my browser window at 2/3rds. Which means the design is too wide for a
good bulk of today's web users.

The site is displaying rather weird on the mac in IE. I've given up on
trying to cater to IE5/Mac and tend to serve the bare minimum of css
to it. Hopefully users will catch up soon with modern browsers like
Safari.


I can send you a screengrab off list of the mac weirdness if needed.
