There are ads? <clicky> Oh, yeah. There are ads. <clicky> But not for 
me. :-)

Indeed. I think the developer's screen size excuse is a lame attempt to 
get around a functional redesign. This *is* going to hurt the site as it 
doesn't degrade nicely to 1024 width, which isn't asking the earth. 
Supporting 800x600 would be nice, but _failing_ to support 1024x768 is 
just clueless.

It would be nice if that could be an option. Not as a "Buy it now for" 
but rather "Here is X and I want ? for it".


Best wishes,

Rick.
