and for my third post in a row....
i might have found some good mouseover script for the menu, but i'll need a day or so to play with it. i'm just figureing this stuff out as i go along, so it is a lot of guess work.
oh, and i was also playing with the idea of embedding my java calculator that i made in my java course in my dektop, just to get and idea of how applets work. and if i get it working, i'll post it of course.
