If you're tired of hearing about the website - delete now!

I put new pages up a minute ago.

I fleshed out the links page & had a LITTLE fun with it ... but not
TOO MUCH!!! Give you a LITTLE idea of what all the fuss was
about ... but not TOO MUCH!!!

Cleaned up some of the CSS mess to try to get rid of scrolling problems
(text lags behind your scrollbar). It's better, but still there. I think 
it's because
browser calculations are cpu- or graphics-card intensive. Don't know which.
I have an old pentium III - do people with faster machines notice it? Is it
excessively annoying?

IE? What's that? :) I don't have time right-at-the-moment to
download and install it ... probably hafta get some 'special' dlls, or
something. I'll get to it soooon ...  right after world domination! :)
Just kidding! I WILL download it for testing purposes ... Do the
ubiquitous *THEY* even allow it on Linux boxes?

For now, tell me what's it's doing: maybe I can intuit.

Thanks for the positive feed-back I got from some people! ...
Alright, it was just ONE guy, but that's better than not-even-me!



Am I wasting too much garnome-list bandwidth on this?

Tell me if you want me to stop already!

Cheers

PS - for CSS geeks only

I discovered this neat "feature" by doing things 'wrong'. You can actually
hide the page scrollbars! (Look in garnomestyle.css ... under #hdr, I 
think ...
for comment and recreation instructions) It occurs to me that you could
put hidden text at the bottom of a page, which only those in the know - or
the serendipitous - could find. Scrolling still works, you just can't 
see the
scrollbars, so you don't know anything is there. You can scroll down via
mouse-wheel or by scrolling 'blind' where the scrollbars should be :) Don't
know if they have this feature in IE yet :)
