The home page.  But it's with XP and with DPI set to 125 percent of normal.   I haven't found any other pages so far that have this problem.  Some of the price lists are quite a bit more readable than they used to be, so that much is good.  

It seems I don't often run into this problem any more.  It used to be something I grumbled about frequently.

Probably not a huge issue with this particular page, though.  Maybe somebody will someday make a browser with a Ctrl-F that searches the alt tags, too.   (Or maybe somebody has already done it.)
