    I wish I could link to the individual product pages from the shopping cart, because I usually cannot find the items by using your search feature. Also, when I click on the Go to Cart link it takes me to the checkout page; on most other sites there is a cart feature where it is easier to see your full order before you're ready to check out. And it's impossible to read your Survey Guidelines on my monitor -- black font on a dark blue background.
