Once I attended a meeting with our web design group: "Your page will look like this. And the printable version like this." "The printable page seems to contain all the information.

My reaction to that got me a reprimand. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
