there is a lady in my office that did not know that words other than 'click
here' could be links.  she never noticed her mouse state changing when
hovering over words, and thought that the different colored text was for
emphasis.  

i'm not joking about this.  now when i begin the think 'of course people
will know how to use this navigation bar' etc. etc. i have to remind myself
that this lady is a user, she is the lowest common denominator that,
unfortunately, we have have to consider.

i think it's redundant myself and looks cheap but, sometimes it's the only
thing that works.
