A New Look
Greetings All
Has anyone else noticed the new simpler almost cozy appearance of this site? Makes me want to reach in, grab that Princess 300 and start typing. All the best,
Sky

I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.

Re: A New Look
Hello Sky, I did notice the change but since I hadn’t seen it referenced in a posting I began to think there was something wrong with my memory. I like the look. I also like the Durbin quote. George

Re: A New Look
I like it, too. Especially the softer colors.
Uwe could even rotate the show-cased machine in the main header from time to time. I suspect he might have a few machines that could be show-cased.

Re: A New Look
I was feeling a little guilty about having left the original banner in place for so many years, even though it was in part because this free forum really limits what I can do with it. And a new year is always a good opportunity to make a change. I will take up Pete's idea though to rotate things - once in a while.
George, I don't know what the reference to a Durbin quote is though.

Hi Uwe,
The quotation is at the lower portion of Sky's posts. I think it could be called the signature on some forums. Here it is though:

Because it brought a lump to my throat when I read it to my wife I decided it has a lot of 'juice' for me.

Ah, I thought it had something to do with the forum banner, thanks for clearing that up.

Re: A New Look
Hello Sky!
I very much like the new banner. Then again, I may be a bit biased because I love the Princess. 
I just like simple design too. It's quite pleasing to the eye.
And I still owe you a letter! I haven't forgotten...but, you know....life!
