Believe it or not, I care. Surprise! 

At the page for DOS code (I didn't look at all the pages yet) I
would suggest that "Portable file operations" should be "File
Operations - Portable", "Assorted (sic) sorting functions"
should be "Sorting Functions - Assorted (sic)" etc. Then the
'index' should be put in alphabetical order. It is not easy to
read as it is and there is no discernible method that can be
used to find anything on the page. Not sure if alphabetical
organization would be a huge plus but it would be a start. 

If the text was ALL encapsulated within 'bold'  tags it
wouldn't hurt. My old eyes aren't so great with lightly colored
text on a yellow background. :-\ 

If you would include "width" and "height" measurements within
your  tags for the buttons (and all graphics) the browser
wouldn't 'shuffle' the display as each graphic loads, it would
allocate space for that graphic on the first load. It looks odd
to watch the page slide around as the button graphics load but
I think predetermined sizes loads the display faster too? 

A "cellpadding=12" or so wouldn't hurt and would keep the text
from touching the 'walls' of the boxes they are within and I
would reduce the  
down to  to keep the lines shorter. The
display spreading across the entire width of my 1024 display
causes more eye strain here. :-\

The 'button' graphics can be optimized at 33% compression with
very little distortion of the image and a reduction to half the
size they are now (speeds up page loads). 

I do appreciate your recent time/effort to get snippets.org in
'shape' and thought some of this constructive criticism might
be of use to you in repayment for your time?
