Re: San Lab

Well I thought maybe it was just me, but it was darker than the insides 
of..no, no, nevermind...it was DARK :) ....IE 5.5 here and there seems to 
be some growing trend for black/dark colors and they make me backtrack 
*real* fast if they're encroaching on the information that I want to 
actually read.

If you're going to have a dark/black background, please, please choose a 
font that has some body to it and *don't* make it white.  Reams of white 
text of a black background are very much of a strain on the eyeballs.

The table didn't seem to me to be off center, but I have to admit that I 
didn't stick around long either.
