i suppose it's ironic.  however, it proves my point about html vs image
graphing.  images enjoy 100% support, while html does not.

but in the case of graphs, the presentation is a piece of the information.
without it, it's difficult to parse the numbers and get a feel for what
graphs might look like, which is the whole point of the exercise to begin
with.
