Re: Background Image Probs on Mac w/AOL

This might help.  I viewed the page with a screen resolution of 1024x768 and
what I found was that the page repeated itself on the website.  So instead
of viewing the single page, I viewed 1 and a half of your background.

Suggestion - Enlarge the height of the background - Not by messing with the
size attributes, but doctor it with PS to increase the image so that when
viewed at the higher resolution you're not getting a double image.

It's still early for me - Not enough coffee - If I've not been too clear,
email me and I'll do a better job of explaining.
