	[Atkins, Chris]  This is a great point, especially considering the
value
	of time to market, i.e. the speed you can get the job done.
Besides,
	spending time with a good designer means something is bound to rub
	off -- even if that thing is the realization that design isn't your
thing.


	<tip type="css">
	With IE4+ you can use CSS to utilize the system palette in your
	applications.

	For example:

	.buttonUp {color:buttontext;
	                 background-color:buttonface;
	                 border:2px buttonshadow outset;
	               }
	.buttonUp {color:buttontext;
	                 background-color:buttonface;
	                 border:2px buttonshadow inset;
	               }
