thing is, i want the screenshot to face the right, since it's a 
"forward" face, as opposed to facing left, which seems to be 
looking back... and the screenshot is the focus, not the copy, so 
that adjust my thinking a bit...

browser/OS?  they line up here in Mac/Win IE5+ and N6...

yeah, that's a bit wonky, too many lines of copy, too...

that was by design... i wanted the black to still frame and contain 
the navigation, making it more of a strip of nav than blocks color 
that happen to be nav... hmmm...

good input, thanks...
