Hi

Found the site clear and easy to use. BUT on 800x600, the Next button is of
the right-hand edge of the screen (not intuitive for new users to have to
scroll). Fast on broadband too.

BTW I found at least one typo in the instructions, so it would be worth
re-reading the copy. As a Tech Author, I would write some of it differently
(fewer subjunctives), but if it works with your pilot group, that's all that
really matters. Might be nice also to have hyperlinks where the text refers
to another section.

> Hi Pete
> sorry ti hijack you from a conversation, but I liked the balance-ness of
your response so much I wonder if I may be so bold as to approach you for
checking out a site that I recently designed?

functionality is the main priority. I was told to redesign the site with
most of the images already loaded into the flash (as opposed to them
dinamicaly laoding when called) so now I really worry about the effect this
has had on modem users. If you have a minute please check out
http://193.61.15.84/triads and let me know what your gripes are (any and all
that you can bothered with). Even if you are on a faster connection, I would
still appreciate your input.
