I didn't spend much time looking at it, but I didn't like what I saw. It seemed too oriented toward BUYING things with too little information on DOING things. Granted, product reviews are much simpler to write, but most people buy personal computers to DO things, not to BUY more hardware and software. -- Kenton Lee, Bell Labs - WB 1D302, x7178 {ihnp4 or allegra or cbosg}!hoxna!kfl
