The visited links are red, and the others are blue. Neither are very
readable on a blue background. I'm on a different computer now, and the
'red' links are now purple, which is even worse :-(

This is for the links along the top (Main | Specifications | Software),
the second row (Home | News | ...) and the footer (Edit | Attach | ...).

Non-links are in white, which isn't too bad, but all the links are
difficult to read. I've put up a screenshot of how the site looks here:

(I'm on an old Irix machine at the moment; the formatting is better in a
modern Mozilla, but the problem with the text colours is the same)
