Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////
New to building web pages and email stationary? Be careful with using symbols. If the person on the other end doesn't have the font your symbol is in, it will substitute characters and may make your page look strange. While symbols are faster to load than graphics, perhaps a diamond, scroll, etc. would be a good design idea.
