I admit to being drawn to attractive, professional- looking graphics, but those aren't so tough nowadays. Aside #1: the fanciest graphics are often impediments. Aside #2: sort of like, dot-matrix letters aren't really acceptable any more, but laser printers are affordable and widespread, so it's not such an issue. the same with web graphics -- lots of people can put together something very presentable, without spending inordinate amounts of time and/or money. -- F.Baube(tm) * Information Forest ?
