         Looks fine on XP Pro with IE 6 and 512 megs of ram. Actually, XP 
does not even allow me to go to resolutions smaller than 800x600 and color 
depths less than 16 bit. And it does not run out of System Resources 
whatever I do or, I should say, has not done so in the nine months I have 
been running it.  Which, all in all, makes a bad platform for testing pages.
         The web site looks good from this viewer.
