The good thing with frames is that you can have them occupy e.g. the lowest
10 pixels of the display. You can't do that with tables. Anything that has to
do with percentage-of-height-of-display will also need to be done in frames.
And if you WANT that scroller in the middle of the page (like on mine) you'd
need frames. But yes, it is handled in a soooo very inefficient way...
