Michael! This is not a style sheet! It is plain, old, regular HTML 4.0! I do
not wish to use a style sheet.

Don't like the effect of the "Heading" tag, and I allowed the tables to
balance themselves out by not specifying a width for each TD --that way, I
get the effect I want...

NOW... If verdana renders in BOLD with the <.B> tag or the <.STRONG> tag,
WHY doesn't arial??? There's gotta be a reason --and a solution!

Where's Da Fuzz, and where's Da Ted? --out having a Margarita on the back
porch? ;) Hummm... I could use a few of those right now...
