    I looked into this briefly, the splash image is 744 pixels in
width, and basically gives you 100 pixels for the blocks in the right
hand column. This isn't enough space! The splash image should be
reduced to 600 pixels widths so we have 200pixels to play with
including spacing. Viewing the site at a 800x600 resolution would mean
the content that is centre aligned would get positioned to the left.

Again see the Apple site and reduce your browser size and watch how it
compensates, this is how ours should work.

P.S I see the plan coming together, we are getting there! What a great
process we have too...
