I don't care for the scroll down windows on the left to choose your
operating system and select what you desire to download. At work we use
Netscape on 17 inch monitors. The choices are hidden and have to be
scrolled to.

I agree whole heartedly. When I tell friends and others where and how  to
download I find myself explaining to them;  first select their operating
system (not Linux) and then to download first the interface (only the
latest 1.4.7), Then go back and select modules, then KJV etc.. And of
course telling them not to select any locked modules.

I like what the Online Bible web site does. They have a Starter Pack
which contains the interface, KJV, Strongs, Mathew Henry, and a
dictionary and maybe something else. One file downloaded and installed
and they are able to put their software to use.
