Ok, let's try that.  Howzit now?  I moved the text back up to the top and
also removed the bold title that I'd added yesterday.

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.

Verdana was the main change I wanted to make, but perhaps got a bit carried
away with simplification.  How do you like it now?  It uses #F0F0F0 and
#E0E0E0 for backgrounds and a #B0B0B0 for the box borders.  This feels like
a good compromise.  I made the font bigger (SIZE="-1") again too.
