Hi,
The new footer looks fine to me, as does the comments page. A few other notes:
-- On <http://web.mit.edu/is/lib/questions.html>, is there a reason
the line about Macs, Windows, etc. is in a smaller font size than the
rest of the text? If it's to prevent line wrap, remember that anyone
who has their default font set to something above 12 will see line
wrap anyway ...
-- Viewing the comments form in Lynx is a little odd. Because the
JavaScript doesn't work, you get the questions associated with
"Cannot find something on the IS pages" regardless of which choice
you make, forcing you to delete them if you want to make any other
kind of comment.
-- Both Lynx and Internet Explorer 4.51 (Mac) display extra space
between some of the words in the comment form's pulldown menu of
subject choices. I think this is because of the (soft) line breaks in
the source code. In addition, IE 4.51 doesn't seem to be handling the
\n characters properly, displaying them as little boxes instead.
Weird.

Humanity has an amazing inability to plan. Not too many
generations ago, when our relatives lived by hunting and
gathering, the inability to plan for the next season meant
death. Planners survived. The clueless died. But today,
Homo Sapiens eats at McDonalds - for the moment, planning
and survival are not strongly linked. --David Isenberg
