Tripod is the host for these pages. They do this free except for the small ad window that opens when you first enter the Bellevue web site. We hope you will see something you like there and follow the link - it will help repay them. In any event, if you click on the big, Bellevue window, it will cover the little ad window. With some browsers it opens a new ad window with every new page; with IE5 it just sticks to the first one, which you don't see after the first exposure. In either case the price seems fair to me.
