It is rare that i run into one of these crapsites: check out Datak and EmcoHighVoltage.
The last one is so bad that only powerstrip shutdown is possible.
What the hell (about the site) is happening to do this crap?



What browser and version are you using? That may be the problem.
Either an older version or browser that doesn't support the newer web language. I use Netscape 7,and some pages don't format right,left-side is ofscreen and no scroll-left possible.I'm switching to Firefox,but some sites don't support that either,I've read.Seems everyone is "standardizing" on IE,whatever version is latest.

That is exactly why i call the sites "browser hostile"; they work *only* with the ImpossibleExasperator.
What i use is NS7.2 and have yet to upgrade to NS8.? as i understand that support for NGs (and e-mail) was dropped.
