If he wants to have a nice splash page, this is a nice one. What
is needed is not always what it is nice to have. We should try to
develop a sense of the nice. Of the nice enough. Of the slightly
unnecessary but nice. Of the acceptably uselessly nice.

Excellent gif Chris, just the thing I happened to want, a client
wanted justified text and I dismissed it without proof and she
trusted me. I can now refer her to this. I was going on my
instincts, could not believe it would look good under different
browsers and different text sizes.
