No, you aren't going deaf. I lowered the volume of the aoogah sound on the home page by quite a bid. The votes were about 3 to 1 to keep it, but I toned it down some. 8/4/03
At my wife's logical suggestion, I moved the Search feature to the TOP of the main menu. Also sent out a "mass mailing" with news. Email me to be added or removed from the list. GlassicAnnex@aol.com 8/1/03

Revised the OWNERS LIST -- Cars known to be FOR SALE will only keep the yellow background for 3 or 4 months unless the owner lets me know the car is still for sale. 4/12/03
I changed the way the "additional info" bullets MORE INFO refer to info about cars. The button used to point to the YEAR, and you had to scroll down to find a particular car. Now, the button points right to the info about that particular car serial number.
When the bullet takes you to a PICTURE, it still only points to the general area where the picture can be found.

In an on-going effort to make it easier to find stuff on the Annex site, I have added two pages and this icon -- the icon will be added over time to to cars on the owners list so you can get close to finding a picture of a particular car.

I also started a TIPS page where short items can be stored -- generally, the particular tip will be listed in the comprehensive index with a link to the right spot on the tips page.
