You would most likely win the bet. :-)

Oh. That appears to be an attempt at a two-column layout, but your

...is frames and three columns. Have a look at some well-designed
templates and then decide if you are approaching it correctly.

Links there to Ben's other layouts, two-column and so forth. Once you
have gleaned all this, you can then dump the following:
"**This site is designed to be viewed full screen on a 17" monitor at
800x600 resolution and may not look correct at other resolutions.
**The preferred browser for this site is Microsoft Internet Explorer
Version 5.0 or higher. Certain features may not operate correctly with
other browsers. ..."
(Don't know why I need a 17" monitor to use 800x600. Usually larger
monitors have higher resolution.)
