Harry, you have to be reaaaaally cheap not to be able to afford to update
Netscape, huh?  Of course, Corvair owners are notoriously frugal.  gggggg

PS I appreciate the fresh look even if the home page does have an early
pasted across the top of it.  Hehehehehe--go on, Smitty and Hubbelscope,
take your shot.

Hiya--

Before I saw Mike Kost's post, I installed Netscape 7.2. The site looks 
fine. I suggest that you upgrade your browser.

When I developed the site, I use both IE and Firefox. Mike McGowan has AOL 
installed. Before we went live, we looked at the design in all three 
browsers. They all looked fine.

We cannot install every version of every browser to test a site. The reason 
companies make updates available is because there is some feature or 
short-coming in the previous versions.
