Lots of really, really good ideas. Thank you very much. I am going to work
on all of them!!!

This I don't understand at all. I guess maybe it's a Mosaic thing since it
doesn't yet show up in NN 3/4 or IE 3/4. The text-image (it IS a logo), is
actually placed right after the diamonds and it fits on one line even at
640x480. Curious.

This is something that is going to be a problem. I need the numbers to line
up under each other, no matter what resolution. And I want the page to
re-size no matter what resolution. I can't think of any other way to get
the numbers in those codes to line up, i.e. I can't center the text. If I
align left the page looks very bad. Any ideas?
