Well, as it has been discussed several times during last 6 months: there are
of course better (more logical) ways to achieve 2-column, or 3-column layouts.
display: inline-block is correct solution for this task, IMHO.
Problem is that it's not supported by Netscape 6.x/Mozilla...
(you need MacIE 5.x or WinIE6 for such layout)
