    <pre> Tom, I have just been back to the site diglib1.amnh. org. Beneath the Congo map is a tartan plaid strip; then what my mouse tells me are five links. All in pale yellow on white - quite unreadable. This is with IE6. I checked it with Netscape 6 - same thing! I didnot intend to be a nuisance; but desihners of websites are so often anxious to impress with flasing this and fading that, that they forget the absolute importance of clarity!
