Hi Keith, thanks for that.  After all those sentence move-overs I was heartily sick of the blue theme.  The purple one isn’t too shabby.

I’m going to come up with a new theme or two when time allows.  Maybe one to match this “subdued” theme, which is very soothing on my Powerbook.  Not quite as nice looking on my Windows machine running IE, however.  But acceptable.

i have nothing to add, i just wanna see how the picture shows up.
