thanks again to everyone for your feedback!! I actually thought of a way of improving that first frame, so I'll do the changes before I web publish. and about the satellite tv stuff... I did it out of necessity... as you can see, there are no posts of any kind next to the house... so, sure, you can still get electricity out of a generator, but cable tv? you'd at least need one post somewhere where to connect the undergound cable... Nauru is an island, and this character lives in a very isolated part of it, a small city... so he doesn't even get local tv, only satellite tv, nothing else... and since he's kind of poor (you'll realize this more in the next pages, meaning that he spent most of his money getting that house and was left with little for furniture or anything else), his satellite package doesn't even include movie channels... hence his gripe. thanks again for "focus grouping" my first page... I'll probably preview a few more pages before I publish them. Max
