[drats_users] New UI mock-up screenshots

[Gordon Dick]

Sorry, your new version is the far better one.  To me anyone could  
sit down at the new version and work with it pretty quickly.  The old  
version you had to stare at and the person whose not that savvy with  
computers and software would have a problem with the old version.
Hope that clarifies things
