If you are using Netscape to view this site, you may notice a few quirks here and there. Netscape 4 doesn’t support Web standards and so you’ll get the ugly version of the site if you use it. The upgrade to Netscape 6, which is standards-compliant, is free.

If you are using Netscape 6 already, this site should look normal, although you’ll see some odd behavior on my news pages. I’m working on clearing that up.
