Try this: view your page in Firefox, and press Control-Plus twice.

Not pretty. Because of the low contrast of your text, I had to increase
its size to read it. And then your design falls apart.

Why don't you try using just one background image, and place it in body,
instead of trying to get pixel-perfect precision with adjacent images in
containers? Then remove the height from #introduction, and use just a
wee bit of bottom padding instead. In em units.

Again, please look into sizing font with: 100% and containers with em
units. Points (pt) are for print stylesheets.
