already explained this. i do have a question for the opera fans. i've been 
using it for awhile and i have to say, "i don't get it". of course, it's 
obvious why: you fancy yourself "special" and "unique" and different (sic 
'em yosh! :)  but, since the rest of the world uses the big boys, i have to 
use four different browsers to check the pages i create.

frankly, i think opera sux.  i have a supafast cable connection and some 
ace processing power, so i'm spoiled, granted.  but, really, i just got 
done checking some pages in all of them and opera makes everything look 
cheesy as hell. yeah, yeah, it's great for checking your code. and yeah 
yeah yeah, i know, you don't want no purty pictures and effects anyway. 
well, even so, i created a nav. and i really dug the font. since it 
wouldn't be available for all users (not a standard font; i'm learning 
about typography chuck!) and since i wanted the mouseover effect anyway, i 
made images.  well, opera rendering is s h i t!  shit! shitshitshit!!!

:)

well, gotta toddle off for some zzzzzz's.
