I realized I gave the wrong URL for the page I am working on.  I got 
a bit suspicious when one person stated the poor choice of the 
embossed repeating background - one fo the reasons I'm 
redesigning is that I don't like it any more either!  The URL I gave 
was the old page, the new page, which I would like to know if a) the 
collapisble menu at the side loads all the bullet graphics right away 
and b) there's a way to disable left click on just the "Download" 
button, is at:

http://david.national-anthems.net/new/

(Notice I didn't put it in a bracket!)

Oh, and also, if it helps, my work computer (which takes a while to 
laod the bullets) is on a LAN, my home one is on cable modem.
