<"2. The list of subjects in the subjectmarks list is much more difficult to read in the beta
than in the old version. Perhaps its the boxes around the old version that
helps readability, but again the lines are long and to get the data my eye has to follow
along the line alllll the way across the page. The old version used multiple
lines but the pertinent data was close together and easy to spot at a glance. "

What if they used different color bands across the page for each line? Nothing bright,
but pale colors, like alternating tan and white lines? It would make it easier to follow
across the page.>

The bands would help a little, but the display would not be as easy to read as the old SI display. The wider format is an unnecessary change that is less efficient than the old. I don't mind change (if I did I'd be reading the Wall Street Journal instead of SI) but I don't go for less efficiency.
