I kinda like this one, and the "wrapper" it was
based on.. mostly because i
think the use of orange better matches the new logo. (not
that I'm a big fan of
orange or anything).

I have to ask though, because someone else inevitably will,
with all those
nifty borders and stuff, will this still render readably in
a
text-only-browser?  It seems to render mostly ok in netscape
3.

Seems to be very usable in both lynx and on my PDA phone --
although I,
personally, would prefer the left-hand menu to appear above
the main body
on a text only rendering.

It does (in lynx). The rounded corners are a Mozilla style
tag, the original
tables were either preserved, or even slightly simplified,
the layout is
really _very_ simple, no fancy tags.

Perhaps our WWW server should return crappy pages for crappy
 
(including all text-only) browsers and decent pages for
decent browsers.

That's just your opinion.  Some of us use such
"crappy" browsers regularly
and are quite happy with them.
