Ron, those are good pictures, and could have been taken of my tires,
back when.  However, your website guy should be shot, and/or forced
to use the site on a small monitor or with old eyes.  When you resize
the text it doesn't re-flow around the images, it just falls off the
right side of the window.  People (including said website guy) tend
to forget, but one of the major reasons HTML exists is so that you
can view a page in different-size windows and still have it work
properly.  Control-freaks who insist on knowing *exactly* what the
page is going to look like work to circumvent what HTML does all by
itself (by using block-quotes and other tricks) and end up with a
page that looks gorgeous -- on their monitor, at their resolution,
with their chosen text size, with their browser.

The day I read that article (which I can tell is a good one) is the
day I can display it in a usable text size without having to scroll
back and forth on every line.  So do let me know, because I'd like to read it.

Yours,
Old Fussbudget
