Very quick, for such a long page. CSS is nice.

I believe that it's one of IE's bugs, er, behaviors. The one where IE
won't pay any attention to auto left and right margins. You have to give
'text-align:center' to the container of div#main, which in this case is
'body'.
The specs say that doing this only affects inline elements within the
selected element, but IE5x also applies it to block elements as well.
So in IE5 div#main will appear centered, and newer browsers will
use the auto margins to do the same thing.
However, unless you want all text in #main to be centered, #main
gets 'text-align:left' to *reset* the text to the default.
I haven't got a link for this; Anybody?
BTW--The site is indeed understated; There had better be some
hard-hitting content behind those links! Like it tho.
You should see my Main Page, like a neon sign... hmmm.
