Could you be more specific? I don't have access to IE6, so I don't know=20
what you're (not) seeing. Even if this particular design doesn't work=20

a little narrow, making it harder to read longer descriptions (due to=20
line breaks) or even using longer words in some cases. What are your=20
thoughts on increasing the left and right borders on the ads to make=20
the columns wider?
