IE6 bug with NavBar

I've become aware of a bug in Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) on Windows, which causes my NavBar (that blue menu bar) to double up with the Purchase menu appearing under the Home menu. There are some comments in Smugmug's forums (Dgrin.com) about what a lousy browser IE6 is, and asking everyone to update to a better browser (IE7 or Firefox, etc). That's all fine, but I know a lot of public computers are on IE6, and there may be no compelling reason to update them. So I've moved the sub-menus from the Home menu to the About menu, and everything should now show up relatively well in IE6. The important thing is the color balance, and it's not bad, even on uncalibrated monitors. This is far more important for me, from the creator/artist side of the fence. Drop me an email, if your experience on IE6 — or any other browser — is not up to your expectations. There's a lot of thought & effort going into all this; so meeting your expectations is actually quite important to me.
