Re: OOPS!!

This version loads nearly as quickly as the previous one. The view in 
Netscape 7.1 is quite different from the view in IE. Netscape presents all 
of the menus already expanded and no bullets by the country names. IE shows 
it the way, I think, that you intended it.

For those of us with aging eyes the font seems a bit small and the blue 
letters on the grey background add to the reading difficulty.
