	[Culp, David]  I agree with that  , when I orinially began wrok on
thelinuxgurus.org I had a graphic image with an imagemap as the main menu on
the left side.  After awhile I changed it to text, now the only graphic that
loads is the background which will not affect a text only browser, plus the
page loads faster as that graphic menu was having to load each time the user
went somewhere on the site.
