sigh.

Some quick notes:

   1) It takes a lot longer to load than before.

   2) WHY ARE YOU OVERRIDING MY FONT SIZES?

      I strongly dislike pages that control font sizes ... and you're
      doing that.  Your font size is *way* too small on my PC/monitor.

   3) black text on a colored background is harder to read than
      black text on a white background.

   4) false copyright date.  (It's shown as "1994-2000")

   5) Incorrectly spelled "HP e3000" (it's shown as "hp e3000")

Tell corporate to jump in a lake...tell them you're *inventing*
a better way to do things.

Better yet...tell *them* the standard:

   - black text on white (but not via control....via default, so the
     user can override it if they wise)

   - no text rendered into graphics

   - no background GIFs/JPEGs.

   - no font color/size control.
