If they haven't followed my (several) feedbacks on MetaLink yet, why = would they start now?

Comply with HTML standards, instead of this "IE 5.0 required" crap. = (http://www.w3.org)
NO FRAMES! (http://useit.com)
Replace images w/CSS menus or text for speed. (http://useit.com)
Stop giving me RDB/Apps results in my searches! Maybe I'd file less = TARs if I could find the answer.

On the plus side, Opera 7 does handle frame navigation = (backward/forward) better than any other browser I've tried. Because of = it's shortcomings though I still prefer Firefox.

My $.02,
Rich
