Some comments, upon looking at this site immediately I saw Rod's post:

True

Not on my viewer, anyway. A quite pleasing blue on white, supposedly
the best colour contrast of all for reading text.
>The buttons are dummies; clicking on them does not give access.
Not true during my access. All of them work and give lots of links,
besides. There is info. on some, e.g. loco. specs., that people in
this newsgroup were scrounging for only a couple of weeks ago. The
annual report is there for downloading- not only did it download in
about 20 sec, but it also contained an applet (?) that detected my
word processor (Word8) and started it up and loaded the dowloaded file
into it. I've never seen ANYBODY'S Web site do that. [Could be
dangerous though.... e.g. nmacro viruses]

Mostly true, but the e-mail link is in the contact button on the home
page, not the "About Us" page, which is NOT a copy of the Home Page.
So maybe the wine awards were not so misplaced after all?? Or maybe
Rod's comments produced a rapid transformation? Or perhaps it depends
upon your browser (I use Netscape 3)?
