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.

Firefox has its current form of foibles. Merriam-Webster Dictionary will
always crash Firefox... full crash, power-off is the only exit strategy
:-(


That's when it's running on a MICRO$~1 platform, right?

Thanks,
