The site looks quite nice (no prob with NS 4.51 on Linux, btw.), but I feel
that the logo draws to much attention towards the upper left where no other
information that just the logo can be found. An unanimated logo would be
better. Also the "news" table has only little contrast (nearly unreadable
on monochrome terminals). Some HTML formatting could be adjusted to get
a better display with Lynx (e.g. the footer would display correctly under
Lynx if <TD><CENTER> would be used instead of <TD ALIGN="center">).

Another idea could be to make the logo fit the horizontical limits of the
left table column and make the vertical extension of the big white bar on
top of the page a bit smaller. If I'd be one of the menu buttons, I'd feel
a bit lonely amidst so much white space ,-)

cheers,
