That text really bothered me, too. It is the smallest I have ever seen

on a Web site. Then I began to consider that maybe it wasn't meant to be

read. Maybe it was meant to suggest the idea of text. We've all seen

Flash with random numbers and formulas in motion which are meant to

suggest math. Or streaming 0s and 1s to suggest computers/technology.

Maybe the text is no more than an integral piece of the art on the page.


Or maybe I need new glasses.
