Re: 10.4 Re: Checkpoints 10.4 and 10.5

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.
