I think its great, and I am doing the whole version of it ( That you normally have to pay money for ) for free from my local library system. Its very solid, and its not stressful and lets you learn at a slow pace, or a fast one depending on how often you take the lessons. Thanks for the great review!

It has some nice features like your own word lists, mouseover explanations, a loop flashcard feature, a text analyzer and we publish a new text (dialog, jokes, news) every week. I would love to hear your feedback about my site. Regards, Oliver Hello,

If you find an original, you're looking at a nice $300 up to several thousand dollar treasure. Most originals have a cloth hanging loop pinned between the metal band and paper on the top of the poster, but not all had this. You want to look for evidence of brass or gold plating on the metal bands or paint remnants (like red paint). Metal hanging tabs or no tabs along with no brass, gold or paint remnants are tell-tale signs of a copy. Either way, they are all very beautiful.

Most of the world uses IE or Firefox, and I can't please everybody all the time, so I'm happy with that. It should look fine on Firefox under Linux. :) I’m not surprised.
