The text is way too small on a Mac - remember Mac browsers usually 
work at 72dpi as against 96dpi for Windows browsers. What is small 
but readable on a Windows box can be unintelligible on a Mac.  I 
couldn't read some of the menu options at all without looking at the 
source code.  This is what happens when you set the size of text in 
points - OK on a PC, tiny on a Mac.  Even on a Windows machine, 
though, 7pt (which is what the menu is supposed to be, as far as I 
can see from a quick look at the source) is too small (and 10pt is a 
bit small for main body text, IMHO).

I have no gripes with the rest of the design, but if I came here with 
a Mac I'd leave quickly - I'd rather not get splitting headaches from 
peering at tiny text.
