I like this.

Firefox 1.0.2 and IE6 at 1600 x 1200 on both 22 inch screen and 19 inch
screens.

The only thing that seems odd is that the 'menu' items on the right
seem to be slightly smaller font.

For the page, I suspect it could be the same size?

There seems to be lots of white space on the standard aspect ratio,
and one can get a single word per line by chosing a very tall window !
but this is the users choice.

(Google appears above "Powered by")

Thanks for your considerable work on this.

Paul
