Kinda sorta ;-)

You might want to put a one-liner at the top of the index page (right
after the ``hardware'' label that comes before the ``come and take
it'' image) along the lines of ``please find information about
specific makers/brands/whatever in the menu at left''.  For whatever
reason, it wasn't obvious that the brands were subordinate to the
landing page; they looked to be at the same level.  This is quite
possibly a rendering quirk of my browser, which shows such menus fully
expanded rather than as a cascade that you pull a mouse through.  The
large image and ``FOR SALE'' right under it may have acted to distract
me from rendering niceties on the left, as well.

So, quite possibly purely a user error at my end, but it might not
hurt to be more explicit.  Just a suggestion, of course.

Thanks for the explanation.
