Sure, I volunteer. Look, I'm even writing down the date and time. :)
By the by, I did NOT forget the meeting; I was still home sick.
I changed out of the brushed-metal theme first chance I got (ahem). Sorry

schemes is a good thing to put in the usability test. It's not tricky but
it'll be interesting to see where they look to try to find it.
