Yep. It's also interesting how much can be done with CSS without requiring
additional graphics. For example, look at www.mozilla.org while disallowing
all images to load (in Firebird, you can do that by right-clicking on the
Mozilla logo on the site and selecting "Block images from this
server" in the context menu, then press the "Reload"
button). Even the two-colored textbox at top right stays the same, not to
mention that the whole layout of the page stays the same.

When I first saw the new Mozilla homepage layout, I thought "oh hell,
now they're also doing heavy graphics", but in fact they don't. I'm
pretty much impressed by how much one can do with CSS without graphics, and
it even looks much better and cleaner (IMHO) than graphics-overloaded
designs.
