Christian, I officially withdraw any reservations I had about the new site:)<BR>
<BR>
I showed it around my nephew's elementary school yesterday; The<BR>
teachers, teachers aids, and parents thought it was great!<BR>
<BR>
The most interesting aspect was the change from the dark to light<BR>
background. They thought the dark, over welming, background<BR>
represented what one 'expects' from computers and the light background<BR>
was what you would 'want' from computers.<BR>
