Ok. Sorry - didn't mean to scare you. It just means that it can be changed
in the presentation layer without modifying any logic or "getting your
hands dirty" - so to speak. I increased (some) of the font sizes- let me
know if it looks any better.

I enjoy the discussions on the PLUG list, meetings with the members, and
being a part of this community. PLUG is a valuable resource and I think
that a web forum is a place where others can benefit from the wealth of
knowledge well after the discussion has ended.
The site is there for PLUG members to use or not.
