        Here's what the current CWRU Home Page looks like in NCSA Mosaic
2.0.1 (from 1995!):

        Here is what the previous version looked like:

Remarkable improvement :-)  Thanks.

Why is it no surprize to me that the new homepage remains useable while 
the old one became the page from Hell?  Say what you will about the 
folks at Yamamoto Moss and the "Branding Police," Somebody did something 
right if the current homepage design is useable (if not pretty) on those 
older browsers.

I'm not sure what the branding police have to do with this, or Case's
role in the template, but it *is* pretty decent, although it is
not really what I would call good.  It rounds up to good.  It's almost
got the XHTML, it's got CSS, although somewhat inelegant, and it's got
layout tables, but it works pretty well, compared to what was there
before.
