Hello,

Thank you very much for the thorough check.  I know the site (at 
least the navigation) isn't as pretty in Netscape 4.x (which I plan 
to still work on), so I'm glad you still made it through. 

Thanks for pointing out the link and margin items.  The margin 
problem seems to only happen in N 4.x, but I'll find a fix. 

As for the search, we're currently using google for search results 
and since it's a new site, it hasn't been indexed yet.  Therefore, 
the university results were the best we can do for now.  Good to hear 
you still found relevant results though. 

Thanks again,

Doug Dossett
