h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just gone back to Classic Goo after an extended spell using the alabaster background. I now wonder why I stuck with the latter for so long - did I ever particularly like it in the first place? I suppose I was just trying to be up-to-date and modern, all that sort of thing. Nothing wrong with progress, of course, as long as it actually *is* progress. But the old adage springs to mind - 'If it ain't broke, etc'... Alabaster strains the eyes with its glaring background and small text; also, it has an impersonal, characterless feel - it could be pretty much anywhere on the Web. Goo, in contrast, seems warm and comfortable (not to mention easier on the eye), and has some of the engaging quirkiness that attracted me to h2g2 in the first place. It's a bit like making a friendly homecoming after a period in the wilderness. I might even stick around...
