Not even close. Arguably it's attractive, as long as you don't actually need
to use it or read anything on it. Pray your eyes are as good as a 15 year old
or you aren't using a high resolution device to access it if so.

It's terribly rude, apparently designed by people with giant displays and/or
perfect vision, for low resolution displays of 20 years ago, with no apparent
consideration given to users of high resolution displays, or those with less
than perfect eyesight.

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/SC/sc-sambaorg1005.png is what it looks like on
resolution only 150% of "standard" 96. Note the note at the bottom of the
image about proper viewing.
