My big suggestion: Put the intro para at the top again, right now you're
wasting a lot of horizontal space farther down below it. Or if you MUST have
it on the side, blowing a column, at least when you resize the page, don't
resize just that column... resize the others instead. They need the space
more than it does.

Thanks. Now I know why I like the old one better, I like the use of the
colors to help the eye tell what is going on in the table. That and the
overall layout just seems better. Change the font to Verdana if you want...
that seems a good change I guess.
