  Improvements Suggested by Readers
  Taking reader suggestions to heart, we've recently fixed the top three complaints about our redesign. Our basic font is now larger—easier on the eyes. Easy Print has been improved to provide a print preview and to offer readers a text version of the article for easy copy-and-paste. Finally, readers can now use the "Save" or "Save As" functions in their browsers to save articles to their computers. Keep the suggestions coming! —HBSWK Staff
