That is interesting.. she is using MSN's browser, and she said she got all
her updates.  Her Netscape 4.7 viewed it fine, so I am leaning toward a
software issue.

This is the first site I have ever used png images for.  I am fascinated by
them.  Not sure
if I will continue, and I could easily turn them into jpgs, only I hate that
dappled look they get from the compression.

Thanks for the info.
