excuse me, but I have to jump in here. I just viewed that site with Lynx. GWMicro tells its users (David knows this) that because the site is designed with frames, it's recommended that IE be used, AND a resolution of 800x600. And, they are using pixels; can't re-size the text. And, there's more... I apologize for not following the 'string'. Thank you.
