    I think we can all agree that it is a broken toilet of a web     site, unable to flush, and as such, unable to ever     completely empty itself of the foaming excreta,     cognitive waste, and repellent effluvia streaming     from its seething geyser of filth.

    I would agree with that as well.  For such a large     company I would have to say that they have one of the worst web pages in the     history of web pages.  I have seen second year students at The New     Jersey Institute of Technology develop better web sites than that.  Do     you realize that I had to do a search for metalink website because I     couldn't find the link on their website.  Maybe it was like a project     of larry's, he offered it up to some 12 year old HTML gurru and let em     go?

    While this pot is stewing, I'll add the following:     

    What the heck is wrong with Oracle? They have InterMedia nee     ConText, and the searchability of their "support"     site is embarassingly feeble. Why no "smart     searches"? Why no automatic notification when a "Forum" <FONT     size=2>response is logged?  Why no moderated lists..or     listservers.....
    This stuff ( i.e. "service" ) is cheap, and OWS is making a     major mistake by slacking on it.
    Much as I know people do not like Microsoft, ask any     developer/manager about subscriptions to Microsoft     Developer Networks..it used to be near free, now it's <FONT     size=2>about 2 grand yearly, and you get *boxes and boxes* of CDs with     tools, docs, new languages, white papers, sample     code, amazing stuff....
    <shrug>
    I guess if you're one of the big fish in the sea, you get to     do what you want and let the plankton fall into     line......

    does anybody know what exactly MetaBlink runs on?     last I heard it was clustered 6500's with 6 G of     RAM. I actually called client relations to let me     know, and they have not returned the call.     Sun is good stuff, but the site has been truly     flakey for a major corporation's flagship support     center. <shrug> -----Original Message-----     From: dgoulet_at_vicr.com [<A

    I was trying to use MetaLink yesterday morning (east coast     USA) & was getting an authorization error.      I called OTS customer service who verified they were <FONT     size=2>having a problem.  Wonder if some duhveleper got a fat finger in     the wrong place. Dick Goulet
