What delightfully intelligent-sounding yet completely incoherent things it says! I can't wait to see what I sound like as Zippy the Pinhead.

It's a no-brainer, except for the part of me that's growing ever more conscious of the need to support local small businesses... when you shop with price as your exclusive criteria for long enough, you wind up with Wal-Mart. What is making the decision particularly difficult in this case is the big disparity in prices, and the fact that I haven't found a local folk instrument shop that I'm crazy about.

You know what? As long as you're not nesting them by the dozen, table layouts are just fine. I would argue that if you absolutely must have a footer that remains always at the bottom of the window, it's less evil to use a simple layout table than it is to resort to JavaScript to make a div stay where you want it to.
